Should Gerry Adams stay on as Leader of Sinn Fein?

Wicklow no longer in the RA.

Gerry is going @ChocolateMice the ihe is over Sf/IRA for 35 terse

Just announced himself and Ferris won’t be standing in the next election

Edit - standing down as President too.

End of an era. First step in getting Sinn Fein into power in the south.

Legend, hero, icon.

Is Joe Reilly retiring as well, or was Gerry making a point to the TD Reilly stepped aside for after 2009?

We won’t see the likes of Gerry agin.I’d like to see Pearse take over now.

Labour are fucked now

Fuck labour

Dessie Ellis staying on? Who else of the parliamentary party saw active service??

Don’t think there’s anyone in south anymore bar Dessie

Finally SF can take a step forward, rightly or wrongly the average man in the street has associated Adams with nothing but murder and scandal and he never had Martin’s appeal as a man of the people.
A good day for the party

Think they’d be better skipping McDonald and going straight for Doherty.

I’d agree with that but I don’t see it happening, MaryLou will get her chance, probably deserves it as well but it’s not the best thing for SF

Hasn’t Doherty more or less ruled himself out anyway?

Just interested to know why you don’t feel Mary Loughborough would be the right choice for SF?

He’s a better actor than most of them

Wasn’t Pearce caught playing away from home by the missus? I think she torpedoed any hope he had of becoming leader.

I would have thought in a party where allegations of bullying,terrorism, kidnapping, murder, bank robbery and covering up child abuse don’t seem to cause much difficulties that a bit of a extra-marital dalliance should hardly be career-threatening?
