Adams - Toward A United Ireland

"Irish reunification is no longer a far off dream but a work in progress. And that work must intensify now and in the time ahead. Republicans must re-popularize the ideals of 1916," he said.

"We need to especially engage with unionism about the benefits of unity and how we build a shared future based on respect for all traditions," he added.

"The commitment from Sinn Fein is very clear cut. We will continue to press ahead in the battle of ideas, building support for Irish unity and identifying the practical preparations that are needed."
