Video interview with Gerry Adams, president of Sinn Féin, by Joseph Pascal for the Hudson Union Society on 15 March 2010. Between October 1988 and September 1994 the British government banned the broadcast of voices of individuals from eleven organisations in Northern Ireland, including Sinn Féin, on television and radio.
