Speaking to BBC’s Newsnight in Dublin, McDonald said, even before this election the country was heading towards a border poll. “You have Brexit, you have changing demographics, you have the fact that the unionist majority has been lost in the North over the last number of elections, so that is the direction of travel,” she said.

Ireland’s book of condolence for Palestinians killed in Gaza blocked by pro-Nazi groups

NOVANEWS A request by the Irish Republican Party, Sinn Fein, to open a book of condolence in Belfast city council for Palestinians killed in Gaza last week was blocked by Unionists allied with the Northern Ireland Friends of Israel group.
