Mary Lou McDonald: SF will enter NI talks 'optimistically' but onus on Govts to find solutions

Sinn Féin will be entering talks "positively and optimistically" but have firmly placed the onus back on the British and Irish Governments if solutions cannot be found.

Speaking after Tánaiste Simon Coveney and Northern Ireland secretary Karen Bradley announced a new round of talks between the political parties, Mary Lou McDonald said she hoped the negotiations will provide an opportunity to "get things right".
