SF prepared to take the Queen’s shilling but not do the work

Today in the Seanad, Senator Kevin Humphreys, has called on the four Sinn Féin MPs in Westminster to take up their seats in the British Parliament and fight for special status for Ireland in the upcoming Brexit negotiations.

“Sinn Féin take over half a million pounds in expenses every year, it is now time that they started working for the people in Northern Ireland who have voted for them.

“Our colleagues in the SDLP, have said today that they will be fighting tooth and nail in Westminster to stop the harsh impacts of Brexit in the North, it is time Sinn Féin did the same.

“Sinn Féin are prepared to take the Queen’s shilling but not prepared to do the work when it comes to Brexit.”
