Michelle O'Neill le freastal ar chorónú Rí Séarlas na Breataine.

Sinn Féin deputy leader Michelle O'Neill has accepted an invitation to attend the coronation of King Charles of Great Britain in London a week from next Saturday.

Tá glactha ag leascheannaire Shinn Féin Michelle O'Neill le cuireadh freastal ar chorónú Rí Séarlas na Breataine i Londain seachtain ón Satharn seo chugainn.

According to Michelle O'Neill, her decision to attend the ceremony in Westminster Abbey shows that she wants to foster good relations (between nationalists and unionists), and that it also shows that she is committed to peace and reconciliation.

Dar le Michelle O'Neill go léiríonn a cinneadh freastal ar an searmanas in Westminster Abbey gur mian léi dea-chaidreamh (idir náisiúnaithe agus aontachtaithe) a chothú, agus go léiríonn sé freisin go bhfuil sí tugtha don tsíocháin agus don athmhuintearas.

She wants, she said, to be a representative of the whole community in the north.

Is mian léi, arsa sí, a bheith ina hionadaí ag an bpobal uile ó thuaidh.

In fact, she attended the funeral of the British Queen in London last September.

Go deimhin, d'fhreastail sí ar shochraid Bhanríon na Breataine i Londain Meán Fómhair seo caite.

Michelle O'Neill would be First Minister in the North if Stormont were re- established.

Bheadh Michelle O'Neill ina Céad-Aire sa Tuaisceart dá mbunófaí forais Stormont arís.

Those institutions have been suspended for a year, however, since the DUP pulled out of Stormont due to that party's dissatisfaction with the trade agreement between the British Government and the European Union.

Tá na forais sin ar fionraí le bliain, áfach, ó tharraing an DUP amach as Stormont de bharr mhíshástacht an pháirtí sin leis an gcomhaontú trádála idir Rialtas na Breataine agus an tAontas Eorpach.

Michelle O'Neill said that although she is an Irish republican she understands that "there are many people on this island for whom the coronation is a very important event".

Dúirt Michelle O'Neill cé gur poblachtach Éireannach í go dtuigeann sí "go bhfuil a lán daoine ar an oileán seo ar ócáid fíorthábhachtach dóibh é an corónú".
