Brexit: Opposition parties at odds on holding a border poll

Opposition parties here are now at odds over whether there should be a border poll after the Brexit vote.

Fianna Fáil leader Michéal Martin said British prime minister David Cameron was “reckless and irresponsible” to hold a Brexit referendum. He said the UK will now remain outside the EU for “a very long time”.

However, he ruled out a border poll which Sinn Féin suggested yesterday morning after Northern Ireland voters backed the campaign to remain within the EU.
