The Alliance leader has also defended Alliance running a candidate who is living in Washington DC.
She was responding to an allegation that on the constitutional question she was “running with the hare and hunting with the hounds” and that in the general election her party was mainly targeting unionist votes.
Eóin Millar is taking part in the Washington Ireland Programme for young leaders and will not be living in Northern Ireland during the election campaign."He had committed to that and when the election was called the association in west Belfast had a choice to make," she added. "They chose to run with the candidate who had put the work in for the last number of years and who felt he was best able to represent the people."
