Twenty-six years ago, a generation of courageous peacemakers came together and achieved what many thought impossible - The Good Friday Agreement - a peaceful and democratic alternative to conflict and an opportunity to design a better future for everyone in the North, across Ireland and between these islands.

Both the British and Irish governments have a responsibility to work together for the good of the people as co-guarantors of peace, reconciliation and the realisation of a new future. Sinn Féin in government North and South would strengthen and enhance this process.

• We would commence planning for and actively working toward the holding, by the end of this decade, of the referendums on Irish reunification provided for in the Good Friday Agreement.

• Produce a government ‘Green Paper’ in the first 100 days setting out our vision for a New and United Ireland.

• Establish a ‘Reunification and One Ireland’ unit within the Department of An Taoiseach.

• Appoint a Minister of State for Reunification and One Ireland.

• Initiate a diplomatic offensive to promote Irish unity through the many international forums and bodies of which the Irish government is a member, including the United Nations, the European Union.

• Establish a joint Oireachtas Committee on reunification and future constitutional change.

• Begin the necessary planning and preparation for unity by establishing a Citizens’ Assembly or Assemblies on our constitutional future.

• Hold a referendum within the lifetime of the next Dáil for a referendum on voting rights in Presidential elections for the people of the North and of the diaspora.

• Continue the work of the North South Ministerial Council in maximising the benefits for all citizens. And where possible expand in areas such as education, health, All-Ireland economy and of mutual interest and benefit.

• Give MPs from the North speaking rights in the Oireachtas.

• Maximise the benefits of the all-island economy to ensure prosperity and growth, delivering social, environmental and economic benefits improving the lives of people across the island.

• Prepare for an Irish National Health Service.
