Adams won't be drawn on Haughey's career

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams today would not be drawn on Mr Haughey’s career, but extended his party’s condolences to the former Taoiseach’s family.

Mr Adams said: “Republicans, like everyone else on the island, will have mixed feelings on his contribution to Irish society but that is a debate for another day. Today is a time to allow his family to grieve and our thoughts are with them.”
