Sinn Féin demanding restoration of £1.5bn in funding for the North
Sinn Féin is to seek an extra £1.5bn spending power for the North in negotiations with an incoming British government.
That equates to the amount of spending power Stormont power-sharing ministers have lost over the course of the last parliament, the party said.
The republican party launched its manifesto in Dungannon, Co Tyrone, with the talks pledge.
It said the leadership would “seek an immediate negotiation with the incoming British government to secure a workable budget, including the immediate reinstatement of £1.5bn in spending power to the budget to invest in public services and economic growth”.
