Gerry Adams is an Irish nationalist and president of Sinn Fein, the political wing of the Irish Republican Army (IRA). In 1991, as Sinn Fein's president (from 1983), he began to shift its strategy toward negotiation; his efforts led to indirect talks with the British government and a 1993 agreement (the Downing Street Declaration) by the British and Irish prime ministers to consider the future of Northern Ireland. He was credited with the IRA's 1994 cease-fire announcement and was pivotal in winning support for the Good Friday Agreement (1998), which led to the creation of a power-sharing assembly in Northern Ireland. President Adams has been received at Harvard and Oxford University.
