SF challenge to Unionists on united Ireland referendum

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday December 06, 2002 00:29author by SF questioner

Mitchell McLoughlin challenged Unionists to say if they would respect the result of a referendum if NI vote for a united Ireland.

SF put down a challenge to Unionists asking if they would respect a result on a United Ireland referendum.

SF obviously are considering the possiblity of 1 million protestants being coerced into a united Ireland. They must see this as a problem. The fact is that the protestants will not accept a united Ireland on the basis of rule by the likes of FF-SF-FG-PD.

Do Sinn Fein not see their complete lack of appeal to protestants as a problem? is excluding a protestants not ultimatly a barrier to a united Ireland that they desire so much. Will someone in SF please tell me why they want a united Ireland that will be run by FF-FG etc. What's the point of a united Ireland if it means the re-partition and civil war? What is the point in a united Ireland that will not have a proper health care system, education etc.
