Sinn Féin may 'set back unity' by aligning with UK parties, taoiseach says

The Taoiseach has warned that Sinn Féin could potentially set back the cause of Irish unity by aligning with UK political parties. This statement follows a meeting held in Cardiff on Monday, which involved Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald, SNP leader John Swinney, and Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth. The Taoiseach expressed concern that such strategic links between these specific political entities might hinder the progress towards achieving a unified Ireland.
