The leader of a British transport union says he has been told by Irish people that his message is “really resonating” with them, and they want to see the same messaging from their own unions and politicians.

Mick Lynch, the general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union, rose to prominence in June after conducting a series of media interviews about a rail workers’ strike held over pay and conditions – the largest rail strike for a generation.
