Adams Set To Be Denied St Patrick's Day Visa

16/02/2006 - 14:34:04

Political sources in the United States have said they expect Sinn
Féin president Gerry Adams to be denied a fundraising visa for St
Patrick's Day.

Sinn Féin has applied for a visa that would allow Mr Adams to attend a fundraising function in Washington on March 16.

However, US sources say the chances of him securing the visa
are remote.

Mr Adams decided not to attend a similar function last year after
the Bush administration barred him from fundraising due the
IRA's alleged involvement in the Northern Bank raid and the
murder of Robert McCartney.
