      Marxist Sinn Fein often like to go back many centuries. If you want to go back as far as the 11th century you'll know that Ireland was NEVER "invaded" without invitation that the history books like to forget. A Gaelic KING in Ireland felt betrayed by the Pope, that king invited an army from Britain to get what he saw as his kingdom back and under his rule. And I wonder what the Native Americans felt about their continent on the East Coast being colonised by so many Irish people...

Fought for catholics who couldn’t get houses jobs basically they were treated as second class citizens, they were having there houses ransacked by army and police and there is always two sides to any situation! Lots of atrocities have been committed by all sides ! And depending on where your moral compass is the IRA were either terrorists or freedom fighters!

But when the interviewer gets a little wound up and the interviewee is calm as can be, credibility can become shaky.

    Born and raised in Sweden, at a safe distance from Ireland. To me, Gerry Adams comes through as an honest man who talks straight. And as a keen observer of body language, I think it is very obvious that he is telling the truth.
    Why is it so hard to understand that the IRA might have respected him big time and listened to his advice, whitout him being a member? Why is so hard for some accept that it is very possible to be a Republican, defend IRA's war against the Brittish Army, but condemn IRA's killing of innocent? Do people have a need to see everything in black or white?

The IRA fucked up an awful lot and their actions need to be unequivocally condemned - but I'm still gonna take an extreme position and praise their defence of native republicans that were STRUCTURALLY discriminated against and harassed by the British Army. I only disagree with Adams on one thing - Brexit. I think Brexit will do Ireland and the UK the world of good since the UK can coordinate their own decisions and join EU free trade agreements.

      Geezus, you don't really have a clue do you? There was no British army to "harass" Irish natinalists before 1969. The Irish begged the British government to send in the troops because they had antagonised the unionists so much that they were about to get there asses kicked out of NI for good. Nationalist were discriminated against, and for good reason. They could not be trusted not to bite the hand that fed them! Would you employ someone who was an enemy of your country and sought to destroy it?

      We live in a scary time, where being a true Statesmen is somehow to be seen as either weak or complicit, and the people are looking to Strongmen to bring in a future they don't even really truly comprehend.

This isn't Sesame Street where all the neighbours get along. North Americans have no idea about Ireland even though they love to tell you their family came from there ten generations ago and they still consider themselves Irish. To be honest there is only one other group that the Northern Loyalists and Southern Republican Irish hate more than each other and that's dippy plastic paddys from North America......

If you keep using the word hate you leave no room for love. Even if the British relinquished their sovereignty over the North the protestants will simply go to war with Dublin. Add to the mix that Dublin doesnt want the North then you can see that the status quo there at the minute is probably as good as it will get.

    I recently discovered that my great grandad was an Irish revolutionary. The point is that Ireland is one country and British determination to keep a part of Ireland under its control will break. Probably sooner than later as Sinn Fein took the electoral road, tacked towards the middle ground whilst not forgetting its revolutionary history, and now has the support of huge numbers of people throughout the Ireland of Ireland. Gerry Adams is an extremely clever man, an effective leader and speaker who can now see a United Ireland as a reality. I think it might happen during my lifetime and I believe this would be a positive development. The hatred and bigotry found within elements of the loyalist community, the anti Catholic nonsense, a system based on gerrymandering political and economic control to the Protestant settlers in the North, all make for a poisonous brew and it's now time to burst this nasty boil...and return Ireland to a united situation where Britain has no more influence over it than France, Italy, Germany...

    As an Englishman with Welsh ancestry, I am delighted by the Sinn Fein victory this year in Northern Ireland. I look forward to a united Irish Republic and to a British Republic with devolution of power to Scotland and Wales and an and to the domination of the USA and NATO. I DO support Brexit.

      Massive majority in Ireland for Sinn Fein. Ironically, it was in the context of the post WWI UK GE. But nevertheless, a clean majority for independence, as that was the Sinn Fein agenda and all voters understood that.

    I’m a Brit and in no way supporting any violence Adams may have been involved with during the troubles. I add that applies to all involved on all sides! I do greatly support the strives for peace however on both sides. I also respect everyone’s views when voiced through non violent means. BUT, I could listen to him talk for hours. He’s actually quite relaxing to listen to as a speaker.

      Adams & McGuiness are/were both crypto-jews. Neither of them have expressed the least concern with significant numbers of non-whites entering Ireland against the wishes of the indigenous people. They harp on British power over Ireland, but the British whites have a hell of a lot more in common with the indigenous Irish than do Somalian Muslims.
