In Northern Ireland, called for a referendum on independence

“A British exit from the EU would be a disaster for the economy and a disaster for the people of Ireland.”

The nationalist party of Northern Ireland “Sinn FEIN” said he wants “as soon as possible” to hold a referendum in the country on the question of separation from great Britain.

“A British exit from the EU would be a disaster for the economy and a disaster for the people of Ireland. A referendum on Irish unity must pass as quickly as possible,” said the leader of political force Michelle O’neill.

“Sinn FEIN” and previously called to separate Northern Ireland from Britain, but was opposed by the Secretary of state, James Brokenshire. Previously conducted surveys in Ireland also indicated their desire to remain part of Britain, but they were not held in recent months.

We will remind, on the eve of Scotland’s first Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced that she would seek the permission of the regional Parliament to hold a repeated referendum on the independence of Scotland, since most Scots voted against Brexit and want to stay in the European Union.

Party “Sinn FEIN” during the existence of the Irish Republican army considered the political wing of this organization. In December 1921 was signed the peace Treaty between great Britain and Ireland, in which Ireland got dominion status, and in 1949 full independence. Northern Ireland meanwhile remained part of the UK.
