‘Final days of partition’ are here, argues Sinn Féin newsletter sent to diplomats

The European circular outlines how “we are living in the final days of partition”, and says the “wider European community should prepare for [a unity referendum] and the likelihood of a United Ireland in the coming years”.

An article by MEP Chris MacManus calls on the EU to “get off the sidelines” and also to make clear what supports “financial or otherwise, it is prepared to offer to assist with a smooth transition towards a re-united Ireland”.A Sinn Féin spokesman said the international community had played a “crucial role” in the peace process and the party had engaged in an intensive programme of political engagement and outreach for decades.

“In recent times it has been important to deal with the diplomatic community on issues like the impact of Brexit, the implementation of the protocol, the future of politics on our island and the opportunity that now exists for Irish reunification.” Taoiseach Micheál Martin has repeatedly pushed back against calls for a referendum on Irish unity in the short term, and has promoted the Government’s Shared Island Dialogues at international level while stressing the importance of reconciliation.

So close yet so far.....
