Fianna Fáil attacks Sinn Féin rejection of DUP compromise offer
-
Ireland’s largest opposition party, Fianna Fáil, has criticised Sinn Féin’s rejection of a compromise offer from the Democratic Unionists over an Irish language act in Northern Ireland.
The rejection of the offer has cast doubt on the resumption of negotiations aimed at restoring power-sharing in Belfast.
Michelle O’Neill, the Sinn Féin leader in the Stormont assembly, accused the DUP and its leader, Arlene Foster, of failing to learn any lessons from the collapse of the previous government.
