Gerry Adams open to meeting with Micheál Martin or Enda Kenny

Gerry Adams has left the door open to Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael by saying he will answer any calls made to him.

But the Sinn Féin leader stated that party members had ruled against going into government as the junior partner and they would be standing by that mandate.

Calling on the Dáil to remain sitting to deal with the crisis in health and housing as well as the issue of water charges, he said his party had put down four motions which should be discussed.
