Sinn Fein has called for an “Irish Unity week” in the Republic of Ireland’s parliament which would see MLAs and Northern Ireland MPs contributing to debates.
The proposals form a significant part of Sinn Fein’s suggested parliamentary reforms, after Irish opposition parties were invited to bring forward submissions on changes to Dail rules and procedures.
MPs are already invited to contribute to formal meetings of the Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.
However, Sinn Fein said there is no annual debate on its progress on the Dail and has called for leaders of the Stormont Executive to be invited to take part.
The party wants a process where “all ministers on the island” could address joint programmes in the Dail parliament.
Potential areas of discussion could be reports from the North-South Ministerial Council or cross-border implementation bodies.
