I welcome the fact that an agreement has been reached between the European Union and the British government.

There is no such thing as a good Brexit. Brexit is being foisted on the north of Ireland against the democratic wishes of the people.

As a party, Sinn Féin has worked to defend Irish interests from the worst impacts of Brexit.

It was Sinn Féin who first made the case for a ‘designated special status for the north within the EU’ and it was Sinn Féin who insisted on the protection of the Good Friday agreement and no hard border on the island of Ireland as bottom lines.

We have also insisted that no veto can be given to unionism.
