The leader of the Republic of Ireland’s Labour Party has called for the UK and Irish governments to confirm a timeline for a border poll on Northern Ireland.

Ivana Bacik made the call for a “unity referendum” in her leader’s speech at the party’s annual conference on Saturday, Irish broadcaster RTÉ reports.

Bacik said the matter should not be rushed, but that she believes there is a need to give a deadline for when it would take place.

“As leader of a Republican party, I am calling now on the Irish and British governments to set a clear timeline for the holding of a unity referendum,” she said.
