FG should follow FF across the border

THE announcement that Fianna Fáil is to consider the possibility of becoming an all-island party is to be welcomed. Northern Ireland is a small place and nationalists should be able to vote for several all-island parties.

As a member of Fine Gael I urge my party also to become all-island.

Currently Young Fine Gael has a committee in Northern Ireland.

We should go further, though, and assist in ensuring that voters in the North have a broad choice of candidates and parties.

Standing in the North is the right thing to do.

Currently, Sinn Féin is the only all-island party nationalists can vote for in the North. The Sinn Féin march has been halted in the South.

Through widening the choice of parties in the North, I believe Sinn Féin’s grip there will be broken, too.
