New York
The New York mayor Bill de Blasio has infuriated unionists by proclaiming this year's St Patrick's Day as Gerry Adams Day.
He made a proclamation honouring the former Sinn Fein leader at a special event ahead of the Fifth Avenue parade. It read: "I, Bill de Blasio, Mayor of the City of New York, do hereby proclaim March 17 2018 in the city of New York as 'Gerry Adams Day'."
Many said it was an insult to victims - with some even calling for de Blasio to resign.
