The Sinn Féin president spent some time answering our questions this week. Here’s everything he said…

ON THURSDAY, THE Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams paid a visit to TheJournal.ie‘s offices for a wide-ranging interview.

We discussed economics, Greece, water charges and lots more. You can now watch an extended interview with the Louth TD below. Among the other questions he answers are:

  • Is Sinn Féin ready for an election?
  • Could the party do pre-election deal with the Anti-Austerity Alliance… or Shane Ross?
  • Does he really not want to be Taoiseach? 
  • Has he been to confession lately?
  • Does anyone tell him to tone it down on Twitter?
