Mary Lou McDonald: Online Adams comedy sketch done 'with a good heart'

Former Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams was embroiled in controversy and criticised by families of victims after his comedy sketch video which has since been withdrawn. 

Mary Lou McDonald has said she will not call on Gerry Adams to apologise for his controversial comedy sketch video, saying it was done "for a good cause and with a good heart".

Mr Adams has been criticised for the online video in which several of the IRA's best known phrases are used.
