Adams urges Labour to be left wing alternative

Labour should forge a real left wing alternative to the Government instead of courting Fine Gael as a future coalition partner, the party was urged today.

As he prepared for this weekend’s annual Wolfe Tone commemoration in Bodenstown, Co Kildare, Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams accused some Labour Party members of only being interested in “getting their bums on ministerial seats”.
