Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams has indicated his party will put forward a candidate for the Irish presidency for the first time.

Speaking at his party's annual conference in Belfast, Mr Adams said the office should not be a "trophy" for the political establishment.

Voters go to the polls next month to choose a successor to two-term president Mary McAleese.

Sinn Fein currently are the fourth largest party in the Irish Republic.

:shock:

For all the peace talk, that's a man who got very rich out of the entire country's misery. Just like SF, in fact :x

Much of the "military action" was to secure their control over the local crimes whether drugs prostitution etc,. Many were not in it for the politics but for the money. I do find it highly amusing that the Americans gave bucket loads of money to Sinn Fein, who want a united socialist Ireland. I wonder how socialist they mean. The crisis in the south gave them a huge boost recently. Prior to that they were regarded as a joke in the South.

Oh, socialism for them only goes as far as what suits their political agenda. People will still find themselves being intimidated one way or another :evil:

Apparently Sinn Fein's karaoke fund raisers weren't all they could have been back in the old days... ;)
