Taoiseach: Parties have no connection with Adams arrest

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has today rejected Mary Lou McDonald's assertion that the timing of the arrest of Gerry Adams is "politically motivated".

The Sinn Féin president was Gerry detained overnight after voluntarily presenting himself for interview at a police station in Antrim for interview regarding the killing of Jean McConville. He can be held for two days without charge.
