    An Irish minister has criticised Gerry Adams for his comments about Lady Thatcher. My colleague Henry McDonald has sent me this.

    Ireland's Justice Minister sharply criticised Gerry Adams today over his remarks had caused a great deal of hurt to the Irish people.

    Alan Shatter said Adams should remember that the Provisional IRA caused a great deal of hurt during the Troubles.

    Speaking in Dubin this morning, Shatter said: I think those who comment critically on Margaret Thatcher, in particular those in Sinn Féin who do so, shouldn't be allowed to forget that they were directly responsible, and the Provisional IRA, were responsible for a murderous bombing of a Conservative Party conference that resulted in the death of a number of people."
