We have got an insight into what a united Ireland would look like if Sinn Fein got its goal

(The article can be read here: ‘Nationalists for political ends tried to overturn measured advice to schools on coronavirus,’ March 18).

Republicanism’s recent contributions to society in the form of the QUB Students Union president’s controversy, then those of Michelle O’Neill and John O’Dowd of Sinn Fein on coronavirus, does not, I fear, bode well for the pro unionist/British peoples (or even for others pursuing a ‘new’ united Ireland for that matter).

O’Neill in performing her lightning fast doughnut appeared spooked judging by her equally lightning fast rant on school closures that was to replace her official executive stance on COVID 19 the day earlier.

Sinn Fein tried to justify her actions (miserably unconvincingly to all outside of republicanism) by saying that they were just responding to the people. Could the ‘people’ who really pulled the handbrake on Ms O’Neill have done so for siding with the Brits?

Then we had O’Dowd questioning the pedigree and credibility of all and sundry involved at Westminster also regarding the coronavirus.

All of this hot on the heels of the chuckie ar la’s from down South and O’Neill’s rhetorical demands relating to ‘shameful disrespect’ after the publication of the RHI report!

Sinn Fein’s brazen interpretation of the GFA permits them to be the water sitting on oil up at Stormont or beyond and for them to agitate the mix when it suits them no matter what the consequences are, or for whom, as long as it suits ‘the cause’.

Readers I’m sure are intelligent and wise enough by now to see through Sinn Fein and their new ilk to understand what is going to be meted out for generations to come if they ever get their united Ireland.
