Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald has called for a general election in the Republic of Ireland, describing the years of governance by Fianna Fail and Fine Gael as political “hokey pokey”.
Ms McDonald hit out at what she said was the “cosy club” of parties that have been in government for a century. She used her keynote speech at the party’s Ard Fheis in Dublin to call for a Sinn Fein-led government.
It comes as a Sunday Independent/Ireland Thinks opinion poll revealed that support for the party remains ahead of Fine Gael and Fianna Fail.
