Adams launches strong attack on Trimble

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams launched a strong attack on Northern Ireland’s First Minister and Ulster Unionist Chief David Trimble in Dublin today.

Speaking after a meeting in Dublin of his party’s policy-directing national executive had reviewed the current crisis confronting the Northern Ireland peace process, Mr Adams insisted there would be “no option” other than intervention by both the Irish and British governments following a unionist walkout from the Belfast Assembly.
