Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams MP responding to Sinn Fein's significant
gains so far in todays local government election results in the 26 counties
said:
``Sinn Fein will emerge from this election as a significant political
force in local government in the 26 Counties. Our gains indicate an increasing
support for our radical republican labour policies and I am confident
that this is only the start of greater progress in the time ahead.

determination to follow through on the policies and promises we have made.''
