Gerry Adams will seek re-election as Sinn Fein leader

Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams will seek re-election as leader of his party in November but, if successful, he will lay out his plans for handing over power.

Mr Adams made the announcement at his party’s pre-Dail think-in in county Meath today.

He says the party is focused on the crisis in Ireland but added the current Dail is a mess and the Government has failed on key issues.
