A Letter from Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald
As an Irish Citizen living abroad, you should have the opportunity to return and live, raise a family, and prosper in Ireland. A Sinn Féin led government is your route home.
For over one hundred years, Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael have led the government in Dublin. Their policies have forced generations into emigration. A return to government by these parties will lead to more of the same.
Under Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, homeownership has become unattainable and rents unaffordable. Healthcare workers, teachers, gardaí trades, and young professionals have been left with no option but to emigrate.
The election has been called for November 29th. It is time for a change of government.
A Sinn Féin led government will:
-
Make housing affordable.
-
Abolish USC for average-paid workers.
-
Invest in education and provide childcare at €10 per day.
-
End the Carers Allowance Means Test.
-
Work to recognize qualifications and experience earned abroad.
-
Extend Presidential voting rights to Irish Citizens abroad.
-
Plan and prepare for Irish Unity.
Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are depending on your silence.
In this election, make your voice heard. Ask your friends and family in Ireland to vote for a change of government and to vote for Sinn Féin. Share your hopes and views on social media.
In the coming weeks, we will be rolling out events and briefings for Irish Citizens abroad. Let’s keep the conservation going. Click here to get started.
Together we can build a new and united Ireland.
Is mise,
Mary Lou McDonald
President of Sinn Féin
Irish Unity will be at the centre of a Sinn Féin-led Government’s Programme – Mary Lou McDonald TD
Mary Lou McDonald has said that a Sinn Féin-led government will put Irish Unity at the centre of its vision for the future.
Ms McDonald made the comments during her speech at a rally to save Moore Street.
She also pledged that Sinn Féin in government would deliver the Moore Street Preservation Trust’s Master Plan for the area.
The Sinn Féin leader said, “When you walk these streets and laneways of the historic Moore Street and GPO area, you follow in the footsteps of the brave men and women of 1916 who believed with all their hearts in the Ireland that could be.
“That the people of Ireland ‘Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter’ could rise above the divisions of the past and claim a future together in the spirit of fraternity and the dream of nationhood.
“We hold tightly to that dream today. This generation will make it a reality.
“A United Ireland is the very best, most exciting prospect for the future, for nationalists, unionists, and everyone else on our small island. That is why referendums on Irish unity should be held by the end of this decade to allow the people the freedom to choose their future.
