SINN Féin last night criticised British Prime Minister Theresa May's decision to not meet with local parties during her visit to Northern Ireland today.
Michelle O'Neill claimed it was an indication that the British government is "not interested in the concerns and interests of people" in the north.
Mrs May is due to visit Northern Ireland as part of a whistle-stop tour of the UK as part of events to mark one year to go until Brexit. She will start the day by visiting textile workers at a factory in Ayrshire, before travelling to Newcastle to meet with a local parent and toddler group.
She will then have lunch with farmers near Belfast before travelling to Barry in south Wales for a round-table discussion with businesses, and will later have tea in west London with a group of Polish citizens who have made the UK their home.
But Sinn Féin vice-president Ms O'Neill last night criticised Mrs May's decision not to meet with political parties in Northern Ireland.
"This is no surprise given the majority of assembly members are pro-remain and support staying within the customs union and single market," she said.
"These are the voices that Theresa May continues to ignore as she and the DUP show blatant contempt for the cross-community majority here who voted to remain.
"Theresa May's government clearly are not interested in the concerns and interests of people here.
"Otherwise, they would not be imposing a reckless Brexit and austerity agenda on them while also enabling the DUP's denial of rights to citizens."
Mrs May's tour of the UK will see the British prime minister tell people that whether they voted Leave or Remain, what is important is making Brexit "a success for everyone".
Mrs May insisted that each of the devolved administrations will see "an increase in their decision-making powers" as a result of the return of responsibilities currently exercised by the EU.
She added that her government remains "absolutely committed" to the devolution settlements.
And she restated her rejection of EU proposals which would effectively create an administrative border down the Irish Sea by keeping Northern Ireland in the Customs Union.
"As the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, I have an absolute responsibility to protect the integrity of the United Kingdom as a whole," she said.
"That means ensuring that no new barriers are created within our common domestic market and that the UK is able to meet its international obligations in the future.
"No Prime Minister could leave these things to chance, because they are absolutely crucial to our success as a country in the future."
