    Adams - attending events banning women and gays?

    Some questions to answer here, methinks.

    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.

    You know dc - you just helped me understand why we don't do resignations - it's because we call for them so often, and frequently with such slender justification, nobody pays any heed anymore

    Does this mean that any of our politicians who attend a Catholic Church, a Mosque or Portmarnock Golf Club should resign also?

    No-one has said that this is a resigning matter. DC seems to be using this non-sequitur as a ploy for distracting attention from the core issue.

    Personally, I'd take a dim view of any politico attending Portmarnock Golf Club in a public capacity.

    I don't get your church/mosque connection at all.
