"It's still my view that the use of armed actions in the given circumstances is a legitimate response." Controversial comments by Gerry Adams in an interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel. The former Sinn Fein president has been criticised by unionists who say his remarks justify the use of violence and could encourage so-called dissidents. Sinn Fein MLA Chris Hazzard hit back on twitter citing the American revolution as justification for Gerry Adams comments on violence. Stephen got reaction from former UUP leader Mike Nesbitt, Alliance deputy leader Stephen Farry and commentator Jude Collins.
