DUP leader Arlene Foster has said it would be "absolutely reckless" to be distracted by the topic of a border poll at a time when it is about "coming together" to fight against a pandemic.
She was responding to the findings of a poll in The Sunday Times that show a majority of voters in Northern Ireland want a border poll to be staged within the next five years.
Speaking to Sky News she said everyone knows how contentious a border poll would be, describing it as "incredibly divisive." Ms Foster said it is disappointing that some nationalist parties across the UK during a national crisis are "trying to take this opportunity to talk about constitutional politics".
