Mid Ulster MP on Australian tour
Two leading Sinn Féin representatives, Francie Molloy MP and the Sinn Féin deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald TD recently engaged in a speaking tour across Australia from August 30 to September 7 2014, visiting Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane.
Mr Francie Molloy said: “Sinn Féin has emerged from the local governme nt and European elections held in May as the largest political party on an all-Ireland basis, with the surge in popular support resulting from the party’s strong opposition to austerity, north and south.
“There is a clear message that we brought to Australian political representatives, trade unionists and community leaders of promoting a united Ireland and the need to call on the British and Irish governments to hold a referendum on Irish reunification under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement.
“Already dozens of Australian MPs, trade unionists and community leaders have added their names to an Irish Unity Motion.”
