Leader of Ireland's Sinn Fein party Mary Lou McDonald
Mary Lou McDonald is leader of Ireland's Sinn Fein party which won the most votes during last February's election but failed to form a government. Has their moment passed?
Last February the talk in Ireland was of a political earthquake. The nationalist party Sinn F茅in won the most votes in the general election and promised to smash the status quo. Well, so much for that. Ireland鈥檚 two old established political parties instead formed a grand coalition and are steering the country through the Covid-19 crisis and Brexit. HARDtalk鈥檚 Stephen Sackur speaks to Mary Lou McDonald, the leader of Sinn F茅in. Has her party missed its moment?
