McGuinness: United Ireland countdown underway

The countdown to a united Ireland is under way, according to Stormont’s Deputy First Minister in waiting, Martin McGuinness.

As Sinn Féin members took part in over 100 Easter Rising commemorations across Ireland, Mr McGuinness told an event at Drumboe in Co Donegal yesterday that 2007 had been a big year for republicans who are shaping history once again.
