Gerry Adams has hit back at comments made by Tánaiste Micheál Martin who said Sinn Fein have “over-glorified” paramilitary violence during The Troubles.

Mr Martin made the comments last month in Boston during a Q&A session at JFK Library and said Sinn Fein have not responded sufficiently to the victims of violence.
