'Adams should quit': SDLP vice chair

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams (pictured) should quit in the wake of spying allegations which have rocked his party, a leading SDLP member claimed today.

As pressure mounted on the British government to hold an inquiry into the scandal which brought down Northern Ireland’s devolved government in 2002, SDLP vice chair Eddie Espie said Mr Adams should take the heat for the revelation that one of his aides Denis Donaldson was a British spy.
