Unionist leaders set to go head to head in 'future of unionism' debate at Queen's University
Leaders of the DUP and Ulster Unionists will attempt to win hearts and minds when they each present their visions for the future of unionism in Northern Ireland at Queen’s University.
With the DUP continuing it boycott of the Stormont institutions, and the UUP arguing that it’s time for a return, the Democratic Unionist Association at Queen’s has arranged for Sir Jeffrey Donaldson and Doug Beattie to go head-to-head at a special debate.
In a social media post on Wednesday, Queen's University DUA said: “There will be a debate between @J_Donaldson_MP and @BeattieDoug on the Future of Unionism.
"The event will be at Queens University. The date is still to be confirmed.”
A web link is also provided so that anyone wishing to attend can register their interest.
UUP leader Doug Beattie has confirmed that he was invited to take part and has accepted the invitation.
