Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : It comes after a row in 2019 which saw Sinn Fein blast the UK Government after ministers said all UK-registered cars, including those in Northern Ireland, would have to display a 'GB' sticker when travelling to EU countries, including the Republic, after Brexit.
