Gerard Adams (Irish: Gearóid Mac Ádhaimh; born 6 October 1948) is an Irish republican politician who is the president of the Sinn Féin political party, and a Teachta Dála (Member of Parliament) for Louth since the 2011 general election.
From 1983 to 1992 and from 1997 to 2011, he was an abstentionist Westminster Member of Parliament (MP) for Belfast West.
He has been the president of Sinn Féin since 1983. Since that time the party has become the fourth-largest party in the Republic of Ireland, the second-largest political party in Northern Ireland and the largest Irish nationalist party in that region. In 1984, Adams was seriously wounded in an assassination attempt by several gunmen from the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) including John Gregg. From the late 1980s onwards, Adams was an important figure in the Northern Ireland peace process, initially following contact by the then-Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) leader John Hume and then subsequently with the Irish and British governments.

First in series. Anthony talks to Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams about his role in the peace process.
In the hours after the Brexit result was announced, anti-Brexit politicians in Belfast vowed to fight it. The majority of people in Northern Ireland had voted to remain in the European Union, in contrast with the rest of the United Kingdom. “The British government has no democratic mandate to represent the views of the North,” said Gerry Adams, president of the Sinn Féin party, which has long opposed British rule of Northern Ireland. Before long, some international observers were predicting the worst; that Brexit would disrupt the fragile status quo in Northern Ireland and reignite the old Northern Ireland conflict, which for decades saw pro-UK unionists and anti-UK republicans fight each other on the streets. Of particular concern to politicians and locals is the status of the border be...
