Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald has warned that her party will resist any move by the British government to "force" identity cards on Irish citizens in Northern Ireland.
She dismissed it as a "ham-fisted" plan and said no thought had been given to people in Northern Ireland when "it was first hatched".
The Sinn Féin president was speaking at an event hosted by her party at the Labour party conference in Liverpool.
McDonald said the proposed "BritCard" was a "ludicrous proposition" and no government had the right to impose it on Irish citizens.
