Eddie Espie, the party’s vice-chairman, said: “Only a few days ago, Adams was happy to appear alongside Donaldson on the steps of Stormont. Now it transpires that Adams was singing the praises of an arch-British agent. The buck stops with him. The only option now open is for Adams to resign.” Yes he did appear beside him a week ago but support for the new police service is called under question as it has been for quite some time although very much left to itself. It seems a wee bit off under the circumstances to asked for Mr. Adams resignation, if he at worst was clueless about being spied on or knowing and not telling. It is like trying to kill the recipient instead of the messenger ( never mind the sender). Bizarre times indeed. “The SDLP is suggesting that Adams should resign.
