Leas Uachtarán Shinn Féin Michelle O’Neill has wished Colum Eastwood well following the announcement that he will step down today as leader of the SDLP.
Michelle O’Neill said:
“I want to wish Colum Eastwood and his family well as he steps down as leader of the SDLP today.
“We have worked together as leaders for many years now, to restore the political institutions in the north and in protecting the Good Friday Agreement and the all-island economy against efforts to impose the hardest possible Tory Brexit.
“I look forward to working with his successor as leader of the SDLP in a constructive manner for the good of all our people.
“Sinn Féin will continue to work with all parties in the Assembly and Executive to deliver for workers, families and public services.”
