RT by @M_AndersonSF: My statement in parliament on Sinn Fein's Michelle O’Neill, First Minister of Northern Ireland:
Mr. Speaker,
I would like to offer my heartiest congratulations to Michelle O’Neill of Sinn Fein who became the First Minister of Northern Ireland last Saturday.
This historic first and a groundbreaking milestone was once thought to be beyond the realm of possibility.
Sinn Fein's evolution from the political wing of the Irish Republican Army to becoming the leading political party in Northern Ireland's 2022 elections underscores the dynamic shift in the political landscape.
It is a testament to the enduring impact of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.
This also brings Sinn Fein's long-cherished vision of a united Ireland closer to reality.
This showcases the potential for unity and positive change within a historically divided community.
Thank you Mr. Speaker.
