Sinn Fein 'the engine behind peace process'

Sinn Fein has been the engine of the Northern Ireland peace process and is standing at the General Election on that record, party president Gerry Adams claimed today.

Mr Adams, who was in West Belfast for a last minute canvass with the party’s Westminster candidates, hit back at claims from Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble that Sinn Fein wanted the Good Friday Agreement to fail.
