The Sinn Fein President, Gerry Adams, says the Government has to step in after repeated violence across the peaceline in east Belfast.

Community leaders are struggling to find a way to stop nightly violence in the area.

Visiting the area, Gerry Adams claimed nationalist people feel abandoned.

He said he was seeking a meeting with the Ulster Unionist Party leader, David Trimble, and he also said that the Irish Government had a political responsibility to defend people at the receiving end of the violence, which he said was "intolerable".
