Gerry Adams
Local TD Gerry Adams has confirmed that he met with Gardaí over a list of sex abusers which was posted through his letter box.
The Sinn Fein leader confirmed in an interview with The Irish Mirror today that he had met the relevant authorities over the dossier, which contained names of alleged abusers.
The Louth TD also revealed in an exclusive chat with Sarah Bardon:
- How his party are ready to be in Government
- SF will not enter a coalition with Fine Gael or Fianna Fail
- He would welcome dissenting voices and denied the party was a “cult”
- His party will field up to 50 candidates in next year’s General Election
- He will lead them into the next poll but hinted that may be his last
- He will introduce a wealth tax when in power, and
- This Government is the worst there has ever been for defending or implementing the Good Friday Agreement.
In a wide-ranging interview, Mr Adams said his party are ready to govern but admitted there was a huge challenge in encouraging people to vote for them.
Mr Adams spent most of last year battling claims that he had helped to cover up the abuse of Mairia Cahill, a woman who was sexually abused by a member of the IRA when she was 16.
He claimed that his critics used this as a stick to beat him with but added he was co-operating with the investigation.
“That is my responsibility as a public representative.
“When I get information, I go to the gardai and co-operate with the gardai. I have met with the gardai. I don’t like the term interviewed, it is not just a case of handing over information.”
