The Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has come under fire for describing equality as a ‘Trojan Horse’, it was reported in late November.

Referring to ‘fundamentalist bigots’ and homophobia during a meeting in Enniskillen, Adams said: ‘What’s going to break them is equality. Who could be afraid of equality?’ He has subsequently said that he partly regrets using the Trojan Horse analogy.

Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt said the comment shows Adams ‘thinks equality is nothing more than a tool to be used to manipulate’ people.
