Fianna Fail has registered as a political party in Northern Ireland, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has revealed.


Mr Ahern said his party's NI registration was confirmed

Mr Ahern said NI's Electoral Commission had confirmed that the party was now officially registered there.

Speaking at a party dinner in Dublin, he said his party was consulting its grassroots on the possibility of organising in Northern Ireland.

He said it was a historic step in the development of the party on an all-Ireland basis.

Two newly-formed Northern Ireland branches of Fianna Fail, at Queen's University, Belfast and the University of Ulster, were also welcomed into the the party by Mr Ahern.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I'll believe it when I see it.

Although I have to say, I really hope we see FF making a real effort up here. The people of the north deserve no less

What lies and back handers?

What did the people of the north do to deserve that?

I too will believe it when I see it.

Besides when FF are kicked out of Government and the tribunals are finished (hear me out) the rebuilding and the winning of trust FF will need to do in the South will take all their resources and the march North will have to wait, while the North is stableising all the time.
