Martin Defends Shared Island Over Border Poll | Belfast News

Taoiseach Micheál Martin is firmly resisting calls for a border poll, arguing the push lacks substance and that Fianna Fáil should instead champion the Shared Island initiative — already investing a billion euros in cross-border projects with more to come. He contends Sinn Féin’s focus on reunification hasn’t boosted its electoral fortunes and that most Irish people reject a return to past conflict. Martin highlights his party’s historic leadership on this issue and insists on building a peaceful, inclusive future — not just rhetoric. He also stresses that the Shared Island program is designed to foster genuine collaboration across communities, not covertly push for unity. As other parties draft their own reunification roadmaps, Martin aims to lead with action, not words.
