I’m in Washington this week briefing the Congressional Friends of Ireland, members of Congress, trade union leaders and the Ad Hoc Committee on the Good Friday Agreement on the importance of this legislation, the opportunity it presents for Ireland’s future, and the vital role of the Irish diaspora in helping to achieve Irish unity.
The future of Ireland should be decided by the people of Ireland.
We have a huge opportunity to end partition, break the link with Britain and shape a future that works for all who share this island.
The first step is passing Sinn Féin’s Irish Unity Bill in the Dáil on the 7th of July. It is an unprecedented opportunity to begin planning for Irish Unity, and one we must seize.
