Party president Mary Lou McDonald and vice-president Michelle O\u2019Neill are also set for discussions with Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley.<\/p>\n
They will also meet a number of SNP MPs at Westminster.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Mrs McDonald said she would tell the Labour leader that Irish interests must be protected whatever the outcome of his Brexit negotiations with British Prime Minister Theresa May.<\/p>\n
Mr Corbyn is due to meet the republican leaders late this afternoon.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will set out again the very clear need to protect Irish interests and make it very, very clear that whatever way Brexit lands, deal or no deal, that Irish interests have to be protected,\u201d said Mrs McDonald.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur peace process, our all-Ireland economy, crucially our citizens\u2019 rights, cannot be the collateral damage to the Tory Brexit.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the weekend, Mrs McDonald also confirmed that Sinn F\u00e9in will hold a convention this weekend to select a candidate to fight a potential European election in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf an election happens, we will fight the election,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
