Adams defends his social media activities

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has defended some of his posts on social media after they were criticised by rape victim Maíria Cahill.

Mr Adams insisted there was nothing wrong with his tweeting a poem which dwells on a woman’s “sexiness”.

Meanwhile, Breige Wright, one of the people named in a BBC documentary into the Cahill controversy, has accused the broadcast of bias.
