'Anyone who wants a Big Mac - I am not a fan; I do not buy them—will have to pay £2 more in the Republic of Ireland than they will in Northern Ireland.'
SDLP LEADER COLUM Eastwood has told the UK’s House of Commons that Northern Ireland would be “better off” if it joined the “thriving economic entity that is the Republic of Ireland”.
There has been no functioning government in Stormont since last year when the DUP withdrew in protest over the post-Brexit trading arrangements for Northern Ireland. Eastwood replied that this was a “very interesting take” given that “next year the Irish Government will have a budget surplus of €16 billion and we are squabbling over the crumbs from London’s table”.
Shannon said: “Member for Foyle referred to the Republic of Ireland as the place we should be looking towards. I will give the House a couple of wee facts about that.
