Candidate’s arrest ‘a disgrace’ - Adams

Sinn Fein candidate Martin Ferris and his campaign workers are being subjected to a campaign of harassment by some police, party president Gerry Adams claimed tonight.

Mr Adams said the arrests of Sinn Fein’s Kerry North candidate and eight other party members in the area for alleged vigilante activities were a ‘‘disgrace’’ and he vowed to raise it with Taoiseach Bertie Ahern during Saint Patrick’s Week events in Washington.
