A Leitrim Fianna Fail Councillor says that it is his belief all political parties should be giving consideration to a border poll being carried out on the island of Ireland in the future.

 

Cllr Justin Warnock made the comments in response to the Taoiseach Micheál Martin instructing his TDs and Senators they should have the self-confidence to push back against calls for a Border poll.

 

The Fianna Fáil leader has instead urged them to focus on the Shared Island initiative, which was set up in 2020 and will commit €2 billion to cross-Border projects between now and 2035.

 

Fianna Fáil has come under pressure from within and outside the party in relation to a Border poll and the Kinlough based Councillor says he cannot see why his party should differ from other parties by not have groundwork done on the possibility of a poll being introduced.
