Donaldson complaints are hard to swallow

It is a bit rich of Jeffrey Donaldson of the Democratic Unionist Party to complain of what he sees as Dublin’s failure to engage in dialogue with unionists, when his own party has been sluggish in addressing Sinn Féin concerns in order to restore the North’s power-sharing institutions.

His criticism of Irish Government policy on Northern Ireland must also be viewed in the context of the pro-Brexit DUP taking little account of the wishes of the majority of the people of Northern Ireland who voted to remain in the EU.
