Gerry Adams to reveal plans to step down as leader at next Sinn Féin ard fheis

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams will outline when he will step down as leader at the party's ard fheis in November - but will lead Sinn Féin into the next General Election, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith.

Mr Adams outlined the situation at the opening address of Sinn Féin's pre-Dáil think-in at the City North Hotel in Co Meath this morning - the only speech held in public at the event.
