I noticed half the Brit papers were calling King a Senator. I don't think they know what they are talking about. As of yesterday the meeting was still on. Neal to meet with Gerry Adams March 14, 2005 WASHINGTON --Rep. Richard Neal said Monday he will meet with Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, splitting with the state's senior Democrat, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. "Since 1995, it has been U.S. Rep. Neal's policy to meet with the leaders of all the political parties in Northern Ireland," said Neal spokesman William Tranghese. "That policy will not change this year. He will meet with Gerry Adams and his message will be that all the guns should be taken out of Irish politics." Kennedy's refusal to meet with Adams -- shunning him for the first time in seven years -- triggered criticism Monday from Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y. "Ted Kennedy is wrong. Gerry Adams has proven himself over the last ten years as being committed to the peace process," said King, who plans to meet with Adams and Neal. In response, Kennedy said, "Sinn Fein and the IRA need to understand that the vast majority of Irish Americans deplore and condemn violence and criminality. The IRA's criminality is undermining the peace process, and it's time for Sinn Fein and the IRA to hear this message clearly from the United States." Neal, a Springfield Democrat and co-chair of the House Ad Hoc Committee on Irish Affairs, declined to criticize Kennedy. Tranghese said Neal joined King and others in their call for the IRA to disband in order for the peace process to move forward. Adams acknowledges Sinn Fein is on the defensive because of public outrage over a massive Belfast bank robbery and the Jan. 30 killing of a Catholic civilian. boston.com
