Mary Lou McDonald: ‘United Ireland best for unionists’

At a party meeting in Belfast on Saturday, Ms McDonald was confirmed as the only nominee to replace Gerry Adams as Sinn Féin leader. At the meeting, Ms McDonald said her leadership would be a defining chapter in the achievement of a united Ireland.
“I believe Irish unity is the best solution for all of our people, including our unionist brothers and sisters. I know we have a job to do to convince them of that, but I know we are more than fit for that task,” she said.
