Adams ignorant of economics, claims Fine Gael

GERRY Adams has been accused of showing “ignorance of economics” after the Sinn Féin leader outlined his party’s position on the public finances.

Reacting to a series of interviews by the Louth candidate and Sinn Féin leader, Fine Gael said it was obvious “nothing had changed” since the last general election when his party suffered as a result of his poor grasp on finance issues.

Fianna Fáil TD, Niall Collins, also suggested that with such “cynical and nonsensical contributions” Mr Adams “should follow Enda Kenny’s lead and avoid debates altogether”.
