SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 26, 2023 | SaltWireLISBON - The leader of Ireland's main opposition party Sinn Fein on Thursday said she would travel across Europe to seek support for a united Ireland in the run-up to a parliamentary election due within 18 months that her party is favourite to win.
"We are anxious to talk to people about this project and also about the EU itself and where it goes next," McDonald told reporters, adding she would"absolutely" travel to other European capitals ahead of the election. Under a 1998 peace deal, which largely ended three decades of violence between Catholic Irish nationalists and Protestant unionists, the British government can call a referendum on whether Northern Ireland should leave the United Kingdom if a"yes" majority looks likely.
Leaders abroad want to be confident that Sinn Fein would"do things in an orderly, thoughtful and democratic way" and Sinn Fein is happy to give that assurance, McDonald said.
