Today belongs to the people of the Garvaghy Road.
28 years of peace and progress has been protected.
Sinn Féin was proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Garvaghy Road community.
People from every background and every corner of Ireland have delivered a clear and unambiguous message: our society will not be dragged back into the past.
There Is No Going Back.
Not Now. Not Ever!

We have just received confirmation that there will be no unwanted Orange march down the Garvaghy Road.

Also notable that while they didnt sign, they could make time to meet Alliance with FF and FG in Leinster House yesterday.
The same Alliance who have studiously sat on the fence as the OO +Jamie Bryson have tried to drag society backwards, stoking the fires of sectarian division

I know Sen Patricia Stephenson went and spoke to residents on the Garvaghy Road, but the Soc Dems not signing this letter does nothing to dampen the speculation that they’re repositioning themselves to be the next mudguard to the seemingly permanent Fianna Gael administration.
James Stokes retweeted
Should be noted that the Soc Dems are entirely absent on this…
Rapidly earning their reputation as the establishment’s preferred opposition…

People here deserve nothing less than to be treated fairly and equally, they are taxpayers too.
My department designed and delivered the scheme because once again the North was an afterthought for the British government.

Today, the leaders of Sinn Féin, the SNP and Plaid Cymru came together to sign a joint agreement to work towards independence.
For the first time in history, three nationalist and pro-independence First Ministers now hold office.
This is a historic moment and testament to the enormous change, hope and opportunity of the times we are living through.

On my way to Cardiff for a historic meeting of Sinn Féin, the SNP and Plaid Cymru.
For the first time ever, there are three nationalist and pro-independence First Ministers, here in the North, in Scotland and in Wales.
This is a time of enormous change and opportunity.

“Come over here”?? He was in Ireland! 🇮🇪🤦🏻♂️
Angela Rayner, Robert Jenrick and Tom Tugendhat have responded to the US president's comments about Irish reunification.
While visiting Ireland, Donald Trump said numerous times that reunification would be 'a great thing'.

I’m sorry, how is increasing my DART fare helping me when I get up early and come home late from work?
Tánaiste and Minister for Finance Simon Harris has said this year's Budget will support people "who get up early every morning and go to work".

Michelle O’Neill described British PM Burnham’s claim that a border poll is off the table as divisive, arrogant & ill-informed. A unity referendum is not a concession to be gifted to the people of Ireland by an English politician. Our future is for the people of Ireland to decide

Wolfe Tone’s vision of Irish republicanism was founded on unity, equality and independence. More than two centuries later, those principles continue to inspire those striving to build a better, fairer and United Ireland.
Join us for our annual Wolfe Tone Commemoration on Sunday, 28th June, assembling in Sallins, Co. Kildare at 2:30pm.

Today, Sinn Féin introduced legislation in Dáil that would compel the Taoiseach to get the planning and preparation for constitutional change and Irish unity underway.
These conversations are already happening up and down the country.
It is imperative that we start to plan now for the future and a #UnitedIreland.

“We are the largest party of the working class. I don’t need anyone to define my politics. I’m an Irish republican. I come from a working class constituency. I’m a United Irelander. I believe in fairness, I believe in justice and I have an ambition for this country. What I want is a government without Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael… and I’m prepared to work to make it a reality”
