O’Neill Defends Stormont and Irish Unity | Belfast News

First Minister Michelle O’Neill defiantly rejects claims Sinn Féin is seeking to collapse Stormont, warning that walking away would hand public services to the UK — a move she calls disastrous. Speaking at a historic 45th anniversary event of the 1981 hunger strikes, she slammed political obstruction, praised Northern Ireland’s cultural revival, and took aim at both UK and Irish leaders for failing to prepare for a united Ireland. She reaffirmed the referendum right as enshrined in the Good Friday Agreement, not a gift from politicians, and stood firm in support of peace and dignity for Garvaghy Road residents, rejecting any return to sectarianism. O’Neill ends with unwavering confidence: Irish unity is now within reach.
