Fermanagh and South Tyrone.
Sinn Féin MP Pat Cullen holds the seat on 48.6% of the vote.
1 Jun 2026
Fermanagh and South Tyrone's MP is making her mark almost entirely through local advocacy rather than Westminster activity. Pat Cullen has been publicly pressing on constituency health issues -- including demanding answers over the relocation of a South West Acute Hospital clinic due to staffing pressures and calling on the Health Minister to act urgently on ambulance service failures disproportionately affecting the area. She has also visited a local school to highlight what she described as a "dire" need for redevelopment, directly pressuring the Education Minister for action. Her most visible work is rooted in the constituency rather than the Commons chamber.
Her voting participation stands at 0% -- but this is not unusual. Sinn Féin operates an abstentionist policy, meaning its MPs do not take their seats or vote at Westminster on principle. This is a deliberate political position rather than disengagement, and no rebel votes or voting record exists as a result. There is no speech data from Parliament and she sits on no select committees, meaning her formal Westminster footprint is, by design, essentially zero.
The practical picture is of an MP whose work plays out through local media, direct ministerial pressure at Stormont level, and constituency casework rather than through parliamentary mechanisms. Health dominates her recent coverage -- five articles in the past 90 days -- followed by education. It is worth noting that some of the health coverage involves Stormont-level figures rather than Cullen directly, so the full picture of her individual impact is somewhat blurred. No speech or committee data is available to supplement this.
