"We can deliver the republic of the proclamation." Mary Lou McDonald in Co. Monaghan

Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald TD addressed a packed house at the Inniskeen Community Centre tonight in County Monaghan on Tuesday night.

She told the crowd, "One thing is very clear, people believe it is time for change and for a new government that puts the interests of workers and families first!"

"In three weeks time Micheal Martin will hand the office of Taoiseach back to Leo. And it will be business as usual. We need a change of government not a change of Taoiseach.

"I’m an optimist, I believe that we can deliver the republic of the proclamation. Lets build Irish Unity. Let’s change Ireland together."
