Sinn Fein president Mary Lou McDonald stepped up her call for preparations to start for a border poll on a united Ireland.
She told BBC Radio 4’s The World This Weekend: “We have consistently been calling for the meeting of a citizens’ assembly, Ireland-wide, to acknowledge and engage the change that is clearly happening in Ireland, to ensure that we have an inclusive and respectful forum where we can talk about change and, more importantly, plan for change Ireland-wide.
“We don’t want to exclude anybody in the change that will happen… over the course of the next decade, be in no doubt about that.”
She added: “The only one clear demand that I have made consistently for the last number of years is that preparation for constitutional change needed to start.
“Now the election itself that we’ve just been through demonstrates, I think quite dramatically, the change that’s under way and we want that managed in an orderly, peaceful and democratic fashion.”
