Blair still focused on NI, says Adams
British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s focus on the war in Iraq will not interfere with the bid to get the Northern Ireland institutions running, Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams tonight said.
Mr Adams spoke highly of the British leader’s ability to work on the peace process while events unfolded in Iraq.
“I think it is one of the positives in this story that the British government continues to work with the Taoiseach on this issue and continues to work with us and undoubtedly with the other parties despite what is happening in Iraq,” Mr Adams said.
“The focus remains there and I have no concerns in that regard.”
Mr Adams was speaking to reporters in Dublin after a meeting with Taoiseach Bertie Ahern on the peace process – a meeting which he described as “good and very focused“.
