Sinn Féin display second bugging device
Sinn Féin has put on display a second bugging device which it says was discovered at one of its offices in west Belfast.
Today's device was allegedly found in a floor at Connolly House in Andersonstown on Monday night and comes a week after the party revealed that a "sophisticated bugging device" had been found at the home of a Sinn Féin worker also in west Belfast last Monday.
Mr Adams said the discovery highlighted the "hypocrisy of the British system" and blamed British "securocrats" for the incident.
His party is currently finalising its plans for next week's Leeds Castle negotiations between all the main political parties and the British and Irish governments.
