Boris Johnson met Taoiseach Leo Varadkar in Dublin today
SINN FEIN said today that a united Ireland was the only way out of the Brexit mess and that Prime Minister Boris Johnson must order a border poll.
Sinn Fein MEP Matt Carthy was speaking as Mr Johnson met his Irish counterpart Leo Varadkar in Dublin today for talks over the so-called “Irish backstop” agreement to deal with the British border in the north of Ireland.
He said the reality of a no-deal Brexit meant it was time to take the issue of Irish unity seriously, urging Mr Varadkar and Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin to face up to their political responsibilities by accepting the inevitability of a referendum.
