SF angered by Taoiseach’s comments on Belfast bank raid

Sinn Féin has reacted angrily to the Taoiseach's claims that the party's leadership had advance knowledge of last month's £26.5m (€38m) bank heist in Belfast, which has been blamed on the IRA.

Sinn Féin chairman Mitchel McLaughlin said Bertie Ahern's comments were a direct attack on the integrity of Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams and he accused the Taoiseach of jumping on the DUP bandwagon.
