The island of Ireland is failing to fulfil its tourism potential due to the exclusion of Northern Ireland from key promotional initiatives, Sinn Féin has claimed.

Stormont deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill joined party colleague Caoimhe Archibald in west Belfast on Wednesday to launch a new plan aimed at reinvigorating the tourism sector post Covid-19.
