Even Sinn Féin have more principles that this lot ..
Also, where are they told to stand for the "country's" national anthem, do you have a link for this? Here's the background on the EU anthem:

The only thing Sinn Féin don't do is swear allegiance to the Crown. No different to not acknowledging an anthem. Sinn Féin get paid salaries, claim expenses, and even visit the Houses of Parliament. They just don't enter the chamber itself.
