She tweeted: “The president of Sinn Fein, an absolute delight”.

Mary Lou even replied, she said: “Great to meet you @Shaughna_P bright and early!! @GMB .”

The Dublin Central representative was on the show to say that she believes there will be “referendums on unity in this decade” and said that it’s a “democratic opportunity”.

Meanwhile, Shaughna was on the show to discuss how holiday bragging whilst in at work is "part of the social aspect of the office."

Fans loved that the pair joined forces, one said: “Love UNITED island.”

Another said: “You're looking so glamorous Mary Lou - I’m so proud of you in many ways - looking forward to when you will be our Taoiseach and Ireland's biggest party.”

A third added: “Great picture Shaughna. Mary Lou is a great woman.”

And a final commented: “Two intelligent and strong minded successful women.”
