The SDLP has called for an “Irish solution to a European problem” by ensuring that Northern Ireland is conferred with unique legal status during the Brexit negotiations.
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood proposing a motion in the Northern Assembly on Monday calling for EU special status for Northern Ireland also urged the DUP and Ulster Unionist Party to engage in the all-island “conversation on Brexit” announced by Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
