    Mr Adams was a guest of honour at the annual St Patrick’s Day breakfast for the Irish diaspora in Boston today.

    “I am against exclusion, I am for inclusivity,” he said at event.

    Wait a minute, aren't Sinn Féin's most prominent opponents closely connected to the Orange Order?

    Well, assuming no-one cares (and presumably you do assume that), you'll have no difficulty naming the establishments and TDs in question.

    Indeed. I wonder what the in-house sneerers would have to say about Peter Robinson attending a club that banned Irish people or Roman Catholics.

    What makes it worse is that by his actions, he has undermined the positions of local public representatives who have been boycotting the club and parade.

    You presume wrong, you can keep your pitchfork and torch under your bed for another while.

    Adams - attending events banning women and gays?

    Gerry Adams came under fire today after supporting St Patrick’s Day events in America which exclude women and gays.

    The Sinn Féin president visited a club that bans women in Boston last night and is due to take part in a pre St Patrick’s Day parade which does not allow gay participants in the Massachusetts city later.

    Mr Adams said he was committed to full equality between all section of society.

    Many of these events are organized by the Ancient Order of Hibernians which has just come out with a statement in support of their brother Gerry McGeough. McGeough has denounced the leadership of Sinn Fein as 'vermin' who support British 'scum' in Ireland.

    So you can't name the establishment - never mind the TDs. Does this place actually exist?
