Aontú leader believes many ‘grassroots republicans will be very annoyed’
Mr Tóibín, a former Sinn Féin TD, told RTÉ Radio’s Today with Claire Byrne show on Thursday: “I think it’s it is damaging to our own interests to still have the situation where the British have jurisdiction over Ireland. It’s important to realise, I think, that we don’t have a normal relationship with Britain and pretending we do doesn’t change that.
Mr Tóibín, a TD for Meath West, denied it would be petty to decline the invitation to the coronation.
