Vice President In Fine is to offer a wreath to Belfast in memory of those who died in the Battle of the Somme.
The mayor of the capital, Sinn Féin, dedicated a laurel wreath on the anniversary of the Battle of World War I last year, but this is the first time a party leader has joined.
Ms. O’Neill joins the current Lord Mayor of Belfast, Tina Black, and will offer a wreath at a modest ceremony on Friday morning prior to the official commemorative event commemorating the first day of the battle.
Sinn Féin leader Josh Staumont said he was eligible to be nominated as prime minister when Congress revived as leader of the largest party in parliament, demonstrating her commitment to work for everyone. ..
Last July, the then Deputy Prime Minister joined the Democratic Unionist Party Prime Minister Paul Givan at the Irish National War Memorial in Dublin’s Islandbridge to commemorate those who had fallen to Songmu.
This was the first time a Sinn Féin politician attended a ceremony to offer a wreath of the Royal British Legion.
She told PA News Agency: “Tomorrow, July 1, I will join Mayor Tina Black of Belfast and pay tribute to all the Irish and British on our island who were killed in the Battle of the Somme 106 years ago.
“I work for all, from all traditions, as the Prime Minister nominates, and strengthen the cooperation and friendship between us and the people we represent in political and public life. I believe it is important to show my commitment to work for.
“In order for us to heal all the wounds of the past and build a better future, the loss of those killed in war and conflict was experienced, honored and commemorated by those who left behind. Must be acknowledged as a thing. “
Ms. O’Neill added: An approach based on common humanity.
“This is part of our shared history.
“But I believe that all political leaders have to stretch themselves to find a common ground, and that’s what I promise to do every day.”
The Battle of the Somme was one of the biggest and bloodiest battles of World War I.
The distinction between the 36th Ulster Division and the 16th Irish Division, representing two major traditions in Northern Ireland, was costly.
