Mary Lou McDonald has said she 'hopes' Sinn Féin leadership will visit Washington DC for St Patrick’s Day this year following last year’s boycott.

However, in an interview with the Irish Examiner, she did not rule out skipping the celebrations again, arguing that there needs to be an “international step change” to deal with the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
