Image: Sam Boal/RollingNews.ie THE LEADER OF the SDLP has strongly criticised Sinn Féin after a tweet by the party edited a portion of his speech to the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis mid-sentence.
In doing so, Eastwood referenced the recent comments by Donald Tusk, who had said there may be a “special place in hell” for those who promoted Brexit “without a plan”.“We will only succeed in reaching that New Ireland if we first provide it with definition and detail. And let me say this very clearly, no referendum should be called until that work is done.”
At the @fiannafailparty Ard Fheis last Saturday, @SDLPlive Leader Colum Eastwood got a standing ovation from the crowd after saying that there's a special place in Hell for people who call for a border poll on Irish Unity.— Sinn Féin February 27, 2019 Source: Sinn Féin/Twitter The tweet from Sinn Féin also apparently takes aim at Fianna Fáil when it states, “so much for the so-called Republican Party.”“You have left out the bit when I said – “without a plan to win it”. But don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story. You never do,” Eastwood tweeted.“To deliberately edit a speech to change its meaning is something Trump wouldn’t even do. But then again… facts were never friends to SF,” Quinn tweeted.
