Gerry Adams commiserates with candidates ‘who hit crossbar’

Did Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams cost his party 10 seats?

As he arrived at the RDS yesterday, he accepted the general election had produced some disappointments for him and his party.

“Obviously, we have had a number of disappointments, as have all of the political parties,” he said. “I just want to commiserate with some candidates who hit the crossbar.”
