Adams has risked more personally for the betterment of his people than any single member of the free state government has since its inception.
Bizarre rationale behind your motives there.

Regarding foreign policy, Trump seems to be saying the same sort of stuff Bush II said prior to 9/11. A sort of vague commitment to the non-interventionism that has always been part of the American mindset, but for the last 100 years has had no bearing on policy.
I have to say the fact that Gerry Adams canât speak Irish is news to me. I thought they all conversed as Gaeilge in the prisons etc.

Whoâs lining up for the debate tonight?
Incorrect.
I just googled it there and Adams claimed at various stages he learned to speak Irish in prison. Now that isnât to say he felt he wasnât fluent enough to hold a debate in Irish which is fair enough.
As far as I recall Adams was only ever in Long Kesh and was not in the H Blocks. Long Kesh was a POW camp and they had freedom to associate and move around their confines.
Richard Boyd-Barrett
Gerry Adams
MicheĂĄl Martin
Enda Kenny
Joan Bruton
Stephen Donnelly
Lucinda Creighton
I think Eamon Ryan had a court case to get included - not sure if itâs been heard yet but I doubt heâll be there anyway.
He was only there for a few weeks, pal⌠on remand. Never really served time there.
Fair enough but thatâs only remand and most likely an extremely short duration.
Also, TV3 have a deputy leadersâ debate on tonight I think. Stupid night to pick.

Why would they bother with a deputy leaders debate? Just filling screen time?
Ah, this is where the confusion is.
Seems utterly stupid putting the two of them on head to head?
- If he was there for a few weeks he was there.
- I never mentioned anything about the H-blocks @Nembo jumped in and bizarrely stated Adams was never in the H-Blocks. I have no idea why. He was incorrect and can consider himself officially mugged off.
- I had no idea whether Adams spent time in the H-Blocks or not, but Nembo said he was never in the H-Blocks. I was going to pedantically point out that Adams was involved in numerous meetings with prisoners in the H-Blocks during the Hunger strikes and therefore had definitely been in the H-Blocks, that tweet was just a bonus.

If Lucinda Creighton gets to be involved then Eamon has every right to be put out at not being there. Both parties will be doing well to get one elected.
