Text

First Minister, you have been highly vocal in public about the goal of achieving Irish unity, yet, with your hands on the levers of power in the North, you have taken few, if any, tangible steps towards formally advancing preparations for unity. The Irish Government, through the Shared Island unit, have pumped billions of euros into uplifting and uniting communities North and South. Why are you, when in power, treading water on Irish unity and a citizens' assembly? Why has there been such a gap between your words in public and your actions in government?
