Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams claims the case of Belfast woman Mairia Cahill has been unfairly politicised.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said that Gerry Adams is "flogging a very dead horse" on the matter of a one-to-one televised debate - and also leapt to the defence of Jedward following comments by the Sinn Féin president.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has been accused of running scared after he refused to participate in a head-to-head debate with Gerry Adams on TV3 on the EU treaty.

TV3 presenter Vincent Browne has offered to step aside from his duties to allow a TV debate on the upcoming referendum between the Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Gerry Adams to go ahead.

Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams will today launch a campaign demanding the abolition of the Universal Social Charge (USC).
