Adams denies pandering to DUP on policing

Gerry Adams today denied Sinn Féin was dancing to the Democratic Unionist Party’s tune on policing.

After a meeting in Downing Street with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Sinn Féin leader rejected claims by former party member Gerry McGeough that Sinn Féin’s move to endorse Hugh Orde’s Police Service of Northern Ireland had left the party open to capitulating to the insatiable demands of Ian Paisley.
