Republic of Ireland should join the Commonwealth, DUP MP says
Sir Jeffrey Donaldson received a round of applause when he mentioned the idea at the Fine Gael party conference.
DUP MP Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has told the Fine Gael party conference he would like to see Ireland join the Commonwealth.
Sir Jeffrey received a round of applause when he mentioned the idea in Co Wexford on Saturday.
“I do hope we can come to a day when the Republic of Ireland will join with many other nations in the Commonwealth of nations and recognising, whatever our history, and whatever differences there have been in the past, that we’ve overcome a lot of diversity in the past in dealing with those issues, and I think it would be good in dealing with that.
“The Commonwealth is a place where Ireland’s voice should be heard and I would like to see that happen.”
