Sinn Féin president, Gerry Adams TD, has called again for the release of Marian Price following the death of her sister, Dolours.

“Marian Price should not be in jail, she is ill and now she is grieving. - Adams said - That she should be considered a security risk is frankly ridiculous. She is unjustly and wrongfully incarcerated and I call for her release immediately. I also call on the Irish government to fulfil its responsibilities and obligations.”

Dolours was a mother of two sons and former wife of leading actor Stephen Rea. She was found dead at her Malahide home on Wednesday night.
