Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald told ANF that the people voted for change and that everything possible must be done to deliver a government for change.

McDonald has appointed Pearse Doherty to head the Sinn Féin negotiations team, and in the coming week Sinn Féin will seek meetings with all parties, beginning today, Wednesday, with those parties that received a mandate for change.

McDonald added: "The people voted for change and Sinn Féin will do everything that we can to deliver a government for change."  

The Sinn Féin president said: "We will look at how to deliver the change that people voted for - that means delivering solutions on housing, health, climate change, pensions, giving workers and families a break and advancing Irish Unity. There should be no delay in government formation."
