Stormont’s deputy First Minister has accused the UK Government of treating the devolved institutions with “contempt”.
Sinn Fein’s vice-president claimed proposals for a bridge between Scotland and Northern Ireland were about diverting attention from the UK’s “reckless” approach to Brexit.
She said they would be better off spending any money earmarked for an Irish Sea span on boosting healthcare staff pay.
The pipe dream bridge between the North and Scotland is a smokescreen for the Brexit fallout amongst the unionists who engineered it on both sides of the Irish Sea.
Ms O’Neill said: “The bridge is a pipe dream and it is more of an (act) to create a smokescreen in terms of the British Government’s reckless and partisan approach to Brexit that is all about deflection.”
