Sinn Féin’s First Minister Marks Historic Moment at Remembrance Sunday
In a historic move, Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill will attend the official Remembrance Sunday ceremony in Belfast, becoming the first senior Sinn Féin figure to do so. This marks a significant shift, as previous Sinn Féin politicians have participated only by laying wreaths. O’Neill expressed that her attendance symbolizes her commitment to being a ‘first minister for all,’ despite acknowledging that it may cause discomfort among some republicans. She emphasized the importance of acknowledging loss while respecting all members of society.
