Time right for a fundamental realignment of Irish politics

As I write this, the results of the EU and local government elections are not yet complete. However, one thing is very clear — Sinn Féin has a had a historic result, North and South.

Voters have endorsed Sinn Féin’s message that there is a fairer way to organise our economy and society which is rights-based and citizen-centred.

The island-wide election result is also an endorsement of Sinn Féin’s message of the need to reinvigorate the Peace Process and for an agreed, united Ireland.
