GERRY ADAMS has had a long career as one the most recognisable and controversial figures in Irish politics, a man once so feared that the BBC were forbidden from broadcasting his voice, lest the 'oxygen of publicity' allow him to corrupt the general public.
Today, as the democratically elected leader of Sinn Fein, he is one of the most active Irish political leaders on Twitter with over 86,000 followers.
Here are a few of his best.
