Sinn Féin members in Co Monaghan are holding a day of action tomorrow, Saturday the 29th July, highlighting the need for a Citizens Assembly to plan for a United Ireland. Local party members will be in five towns across the county distributing leaflets and engaging with people about the importance of setting the wheels in motion.
Speaking to Northern Sound, Cllr Pat Treanor highlighted how the Good Friday Agreement allows for a Referendum on constitutional change on this island. He said that "vital, proper and detailed planning" for the future is formally initiated through a Citizens' Assembly.
Cllr Treanor added that Partition has failed everyone on this island and the time has come to end it. "We are the first generation to get the opportunity to re-imagine a new and United Ireland in a peaceful and democratic way. We believe that following an open, transparent, inclusive, and respectful discussion, we can plan a better future for all," he said.
Meanwhile, action takes place from 11am to 12pm at the Square in Carrickmacross; 11.30 to 12.30 at the Diamond, in Clones; 1pm to 2pm at the Square in Ballybay; 2pm to 3pm at the Courthouse in Monaghan town Monaghan; and from 4pm to 5pm at the Glencarn Carpark in Castleblayney.
