The autobiography of the Sinn Fein president, Mr Gerry Adams, has become a bestseller in Ireland. The first print run of 15,000 copies of Before The Dawn sold out in less than a week and a second run has been ordered to meet the "absolutely phenomenal" demand.

The hardback title was launched in Dublin last week. Yesterday, Ms Linda Kelly, of Brandon Books, said Mr Adams's book has sold out in Ireland and was number one on the list of bestselling hardbacks.
