Tánaiste Micheál Martin has revealed he came from a “Brits out” background but has gained a “different perspective” since meeting young Unionists.

Mr Martin made the comments in a video aired at Fianna Fáil’s Commemoration of 25 years of the Good Friday Agreement in UCD last night in which he gave a keynote address reflecting on the achievements of the Agreement.
