Sinn Fein activists are jubilant today over their considerable “victory in the North yesterday. It was a victory really considering they have crawled in the Unionist parties lead over 10 to 1 back to just 1.
Now grass roots Shinners are posting all over social media today that they think a United Ireland could be on the cards if Sinn Fein got overall or considerably overall power in the next election.
The (for now) Sinn Fein President, Gerry Adams was reluctant to get into it today and scooted around the topic by pushing for inquiries into Arlene Foster’s involvement into Red Sky heating.
“There is a need for this inquiry to come to conclusions before we can nominate (Arlene Foster) for a position of first minister,” said Mr Adams.
He added: “The first position we put was that Arlene Foster stand aside until a preliminary report. Now we are being told there will be no preliminary report. “Our position is very straightforward.
We will not be consenting to Arlene Foster being first minister until this issue is cleared up.”
He added that “what was good enough for Peter Robinson (who twice stood aside as first minister amid controversy) is good enough for Arlene Foster”.
