SINN Fein President Gerry Adams has said his dog has become “an iconic figure in the canine world” after he revealed that he likes to trampoline naked with it.

Mr. Adams first made the startling claim in an interview on Irish radio last week "Yeah, I do it naked," he said. “I don’t do it with any great expertise; it’s more the joy. The dog does it with me. It saves me taking him for a walk when I go away. We go out and bounce for a while.” “The dog loves it… I caught him doing it on his own,” he added.

Now the Louth TD says his dog has become something of a legend.

Speaking following a Sinn Fein anti-fracking conference in Enniskillen, Mr. Adams told impartialreporter.com that his dog is “a bit of an iconic figure in the canine world.” “The dog has asked me not to be answering any questions on this,” he said, while his press officer told us: “The dog needs his anonymity.” And in case there was any doubt, Mr. Adams confirmed: “I have never trampolined naked with a politician.” “I think I will stick with the dog,” he added.
