British Government protecting those responsible for directing state murder, shoot to kill and collusion

Sinn Féin Vice-President and Join-Head of Government in the north Michelle O’Neill said it is clear the British government is intent on hiding its role in the conflict and putting its forces beyond the law.

„Once again the British government has shown its complete disregard for the people of the north, for victims of the conflict, for our peace process and for its agreements.” – Michelle O’Neill MLA

Tá Rialtas na Breataine ag cosaint siúd a raibh baint acu le dúnmharú le cead an stát, an polasaí lámhaigh agus maraigh agus claonpháirtíocht

Dúirt Leasuachtarán Shinn Féin agus comh-cheannaire Rialtais ó thuaidh Michelle Ní Néill gur léir don domhan mór go bhfuil Rialtas na Breataine cinntithe ar a ról sa choimhlint a cheilt agus a fórsaí a dhéanamh beag beann ar an dlí.

„Tá neamart iomlán léirithe arís eile ag rialtas na Breataine a phobal an tuaiscirt, íospartaigh na coimhlinte agus don phróiseas síochána agus comhaontaithe ina dhiaidh.

Irish Government waiving white flag on Rockall

Sinn Féin Spokesperson on Fisheries and the Marine Pádraig Mac Lochlainn has accused the Irish Government of „waiving the white flag” on Britain’s ownership of Rockall and the fishing grounds around it.

Despite repeated assurances and denials from consecutive Irish governments, these agreements with the British government in 2014 and in the past, have led to the shameful handing away of our fishing rights to these waters.

Tá Rialtas na hÉireann ag crochadh na brataí báine ar cheist Rockall

Tá curtha i léith Rialtas na hÉireann ag Urlabhraí Iascaigh Shinn Féin Pádraig Mac Lochlainn go bhfuil siad 'ag crochadh na brataí báine’ ar úinéireacht na Breataine ar Rockall agus na meánna timpeall.

In ainneoin na ngealltanais agus ndiúltaithe sraith rialtais Éireann, b’ionann na conhaontaothe seo le Rialtas na Breataine i 2014 agus roimhe sin agus géilleadh agus ár gceart ar na meánna seo a ghéilleadh.

Two tiered approach to reopening hospitality cannot go ahead

Earlier this week all but one of the opposition voted against the Government’s unfair, unworkable and discriminatory plan to reopen hospitality. It needs to be reopened safely, with all of the mitigating factors that reduce risk in place and for all. A two tier approach is plain wrong.

Hospitality should reopen in a way that is safe and fair for business owners, workers, and customers.

Ná glacfar leis an chur chuige dhá leibhéal le hearnáil an fháilteachais a athoscailt

Níb luaithe an tseachtain seo, vótáil achan duine ach ab é duine aonair in éadan plean leatromach do-oibrithe an rialtas leis an earnáil an fháilteachais a athoscailt. Ní mór a athoscailt ar bhonn sábhailte, leis na fachtóirí maolaitheacha i bhfeidhm leis an bhaol a ísliú d’achan duine. Níl cur chuige dhá leibhéal cóir.

Ba cheart don earnáil fáilteachais athoscailt ar dhóigh a bhfuil sábhailte agus cóir d’úinéirí gnó, oibrithe agus custaiméirí.
