Michelle O’Neill has warned Simon Harris that he cannot hide his head in the sand on Irish unification.
“Let’s have the maturity in which to deliver good public services, do what we have to do in government, but also have the maturity to alongside that have a very pragmatic conversation about constitutional change – what that might look like and Fine Gael shouldn’t put their head in the sand on that.“They need to be engaged in the conversation and I would encourage the Taoiseach now that he is in post now to bring about the work in terms of planning for constitutional change.
She said it was really important that Mr Harris made a visit north of the border in the near future. Ms O’Neill said she intended to speak to the Taoiseach within 24 hours. He referenced the gathering in his address to the Dail after being nominated as Ireland’s new premier.
