Vaccines
Following her election, the Irish Independent published a news article suggesting that Wynne proposed some Vaccine hesitancy views. Consequently, Wynne received criticism on twitter from the National Women's Council of Ireland who said "this sort of misinformation is dangerous, and puts women's lives at risk", while outgoing Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar said that this was "evidence that Sinn Fein... don’t believe in science". The Sinn Féin press office said Ms Wynne's comments were "old remarks" which did not "reflect Sinn Féin policy".
