Dodds accuses SF of united Ireland 'fantasy'

Sinn Féin was accused today of selling a fantasy after it vowed to secure a referendum on a united Ireland in its manifesto for the Republic of Ireland’s General Election.

Nigel Dodds, a Democratic Unionist minister in the new Stormont government, claimed Gerry Adams’ party was trying to cover up the fact that Northern Ireland’s place within the United Kingdom was more secure.
