Next Election A Choice Between Sinn Féin And Fine Gael - Adams
The next election will be a choice between a Fine Gael or a Sinn Féin-led government, Gerry Adams said.
Mr Adams, leader of Sinn Féin, made the comment in response to a speech by Taoiseach Enda Kenny, which Mr Adams described as a "back-slapping exercise which failed to address the growing polarisation in our society under Fine Gael and Labour and no new vision for the future".
Mr Adams said: "This Fine Gael Ard Fheis saw unbridled arrogance from Government Ministers entirely insulated from the effects of their policies.
"Fine Gael no longer has any mandate for the socially destructive agenda it is imposing in Government.
"Rather than making speeches defending his record in the face of growing public opposition, Enda Kenny should call an election now and let the people decide which future they prefer."
