Mary Lou McDonald meets Prince Charles in an 'opportunity to extend the hand of friendship'

It was "an opportunity to extend the hand of friendship not just to Prince Charles or to the British royal family but to those on our island who identify as British and who are British."

Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald has held a private meeting with Prince Charles during his visit to Cork.

The meeting, which lasted more than 30 minutes, was also attended by the party's deputy leader Michelle O'Neill.
