Adams: Time to stand up and be counted

Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has said it is time to "stand up and be counted" against what he called "tiny, unrepresentative factions" who continue to engage in armed actions.

Speaking in the wake of the murder of PSNI constable Ronan Kerr and other violent incidents, Deputy Adams reiterated his offer to meet with dissidents to "point out the futility of armed actions in the Ireland of 2011 and to discuss the political space that is open for you to move into".
