"Mr President, those in the British Government and on the right who represent the North of Ireland and here advocate a ‘leave’ vote in the upcoming Brexit referendum are being irresponsible and reckless. The constituency that I care about most is my own – the north is a net beneficiary of EU funding to the tune of EUR 3.5 billion. Social enterprise, charities and community groups – the third sector – all benefit from EU membership. International financial institutes warn of a sharp contraction to economies in the north and in the south post—Brexit. Our joint First Minister, Martin McGuinness, has worked tirelessly to attract billions in foreign direct investments to the north as a gateway to 500 million EU customers. Our farmers are reliant on huge EU financial support – our hill farmers, for instance, have fought a very long and hard campaign for a fairer flat—rate system, for a Pillar I system. The DUP and elements of the British Government and the Eurosceptic rights are willing to play fast and loose, but I can tell you that Sinn Féin is not."@en1
