SDLP unveil united Ireland vision
SDLP leader Mark Durkan
Mark Durkan launched the policy document on Monday
The SDLP's vision for a united Ireland has been launched with a new policy document by party leader Mark Durkan.

The Better Way document was launched in Belfast and Dublin. The party also hosted an event at Dublin's Mansion House with Irish political parties.

Former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds has called on the Irish government to produce a green paper on the issue.

The SDLP document stated the party's support for "the will of the people".

"That is why we are 100% for the Good Friday Agreement, just as we are 100% for a united Ireland," it added.

"And it is why, in our strategy for a united Ireland, we believe the Agreement must endure," it says.

Sinn Fein recently launched its own policy document on Irish unity.

The Irish Foreign Minister, Dermot Ahern, was also due to attend a public seminar in Newry, County Down.
