Rarely seen in public, Mr Howell was a close confidante of Gerry Adams and during the Troubles served as the party's director of foreign affairs
First Minister Michelle O'Neill has paid a heartwarming tribute to former Sinn Féin negotiator Ted Howell who had died at the age of 78.
In 2018 questions arose around Mr Howell's role within the party after documents unearthed by the RHI Inquiry showed that former Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir had sought his consent before signing off a business plan to control the costs of the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme. “Ted was a leading light in the development of the Sinn Féin peace strategy, authoring key policy papers in the internal debates that resulted in the Irish peace process.
“As an accomplished home chef, he also famously ensured that Sinn Féin had the best fed negotiating team, providing dishes drawn, like his politics, from the best of every culture and tradition internationally. Members of other negotiating teams were at times fortunate enough to also experience his culinary creations.
