Michelle O’Neill, deputy leader of Sinn Féin, encountered backlash after participating in an official Remembrance Sunday ceremony, becoming the first senior party figure to do so. A banner accusing her of being a ‘traitor’ was placed at her office in Cookstown, sparking significant criticism, particularly from the republican community. O’Neill acknowledged the differing perspectives on her attendance and emphasized her role in representing all constituents. Despite agreeing to disagree with some republicans, she reaffirmed her commitment to building bridges and remembering all lives lost in conflict.
