Setting a date for a border poll now would be "wrong", the Tánaiste has said. Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald said that "preparation must begin" on the constitutional change which would bring about a united Ireland. McDonald emphasises 'nation-building'Ms McDonald said that Ireland was now in the "endgame" of the conversation around a united Ireland, and that it was now a case of "nation-building". She said that the lessons of Brexit were "prepare, prepare, prepare". Mr Martin said that putting dates on a border poll "was not the route to go" and "not helpful".
