East Derry MP Gregory Campbell has urged Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams to learn from country music singer Garth Brooks in his demand for an Irish Language Act.

Mr Adams has said the Stormont Assembly will not return without an Irish Language Act.

Country singer Brooks cancelled five concerts at Croke Park in Dublin in 2014 following opposition from residents.

Mr Campbell said that all or nothing demands often lead to nothing.

The East Derry MP said: "Gerry has relocated to the Irish Republic. He should therefore be familiar with a very famous singer just a few years ago who was trying to get five massive nightly concerts in Dublin's Croke Park.

"There was a legal standoff as they tried to negotiate and allow three.

"The singer made it clear it was "All or Nothing".

"Gerry needs to learn the lesson that was learnt then.

"THE END RESULT WAS NOTHING."
