Sinn Féin leader urges immediate start to Irish unity preparations

Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald calls for immediate groundwork on Irish reunification, emphasizing preparation, dialogue, and inclusion ahead of any potential referendum. This reiterates her party's longstanding position, but the timing and urgency signal a push to keep unity on the political agenda. The statement is political rhetoric with no immediate policy change, but it may influence Northern Ireland's political discourse.
