Sinn Fein wants unity poll ‘within five years’
Sinn Fein has called for an Irish unity referendum within five years.
The republican party said ending partition had gained a new urgency following the Brexit vote.
The party added that the north should enjoy designated special status within the EU after the UK exit.
The remaining 27 member states have declared that Northern Ireland can resume membership if the island is united.
Sinn Fein leader Michelle O’neill has predicted another “groundbreaking” poll on 8 June. The manifesto said: “The imposition of Brexit and cuts from the Tories demonstrates the unjust and undemocratic nature of partition and the union.”
