DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has said that the meeting between UK Foreign Secretary and parties in Northern Ireland was an 'internal matter' and that SF's deputy leader was invited
DUP LEADER JEFFREY Donaldson has said that Sinn Féin should reconsider their position on all-party talks with the UK Government, after the party pulled out following the refusal to admit party leader Mary Lou McDonald.
“This is an internal matter for Northern Ireland. Michelle O’Neill, the leader of Sinn Féin in Northern Ireland, was invited to those talks. She chose not to attend,” Donaldson told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland. Donaldson’s comments on Sinn Féin come after his meeting with the Taoiseach in Belfast yesterday, which he described as “good”.
“I am totally of the view that we can work together to make changes that are necessary, that can get back to a very low number of checks.” The new legislation was published by a Minister of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs , Richard Benyon, and will primarily focus on the building of border controls in Northern Ireland at five points of entry.
This call was challenged however, with the UK High Court ruling that Poots’ attempted suspension was unlawful.
