Adams Warns 'Criminal' Bankers
The weekend Sinn Féin Ard Fheis saw the party's President Gerry Adams calling for bank executives to be "brought before the courts if they are found to have broken the law".
Mr Adams told delegates at his party's annual conference that "all categories of gangsters or banksters must face the full rigours of the law".
He also called on the Irish Finance Minister Brian Lenihan to resign. His comments came after a report into Anglo-Irish Bank found 15 customers owe the bank more than 500m euro each.
Earlier at the conference, Stormont Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said Northern Ireland was "no longer an orange state, but an orange and green state". He told delegates that "evolution, like climate change, was undeniable".
