Sinn Fein vow to strengthen the ‘bonds of friendship’ with Scotland

Michelle O'Neil's party was determined to work against what she called the 'self-serving Conservative government'

SINN Fein’s Michelle O’Neill is determined to strengthen the “bonds of friendship” with Scotland and the Scottish Government while working against a “self-serving Conservative government”, a spokesperson for the Irish republican party has said.

Following last week’s Stormont elections, in which Sinn Fein achieved a majority for the first time, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon congratulated both O’Neill(pictured) and Sinn Fein president Mary Lou McDonald via Twitter for “a truly historic result.”
