Sinn Féin has been accused of “taking the Queen’s shilling” but failing to represent Ireland in a Dáil row over funding for Border areas post-Brexit.
Minister for Rural and Community Affairs Michael Ring hit out at Sinn Féin TD Martin Kenny who had called for an all-Government plan to seek EU funding for small businesses and communities in particular on border areas.
