Lena chois sin, a Chéad-Aire,
I am very sensitive to the fact that there is a divergence in thinking within your office around issues on the constitutional future of the island. Nevertheless, do you agree that it is now time for the British Secretary of State to set definitive criteria for the calling of a unity referendum, and do you agree that the British Government should commence a conversation with the Irish Government about setting out the transition for Irish reunification?
