About her husband
Gerard Adams is a prominent Irish Republican politician who served as President of Sinn Féin from 13 November 1983 to 10 February 2018. He also served as Teachta Dála for Louth from 2011 until his retirement in 2020.
In 1978, Adams was appointed co-deputy president of Sinn Féin and played a key role in orchestrating an attempt to overthrow the established leadership of President Ruairí Ó Brádaigh and co-deputy president Dáithí Ó Conaill.
This challenge stemmed from the 1975 ceasefire between the IRA and Britain, which is often seen as the catalyst for challenging the dominance of southern leaders such as Ó Brádaigh and Ó Conaill in the provisional Sinn Féin Party.
