Ruairi O Bradaigh and Gerry Adams at the 1986 Sinn Fein Ard Feis – Adams deposed Brady in 1983 for Brady talking with Unionists / Loyalists about their terms for a United Ireland. Calling it a “sop to unionism”, the comment is remembered in popular recollection as “orange sop”. Adams settled for less thirty years on, with no talk from Unionism about the possibility of a United Ireland at all.
