received in last year's EU referendum campaign.

The funding, which was spent mainly on advertising in Britain,

came from a little known group of pro-union business people.

Speaking at an anti-Brexit rally in West Belfast today,

Mr Adams said the DUP needs to provide more answers.

:00:49.:01:00.

It took them a long way to get them to admit that they got this money.

In last year's Assembly elections, it was the smaller parties

:01:25.:01:27.

who made most gains, but how do they rate their chances this time?

:01:28.:01:30.

Our political correspondent Enda McClafferty has been finding out.

:01:31.:01:32.

You may not recognise the face, but the voice should sound familiar. 22%

waited 46 years to get elected and now he is back fighting to keep his

seat. He was the big winner last May along with his colleague and people

:01:57.:02:04.

before profit secured two seats. Given the circumstances, relative to

:02:05.:02:08.

our size, we made an enormous impact on Stormont. We made the biggest

:02:09.:02:13.

impact probably on Stormont over the last seven months. Having just

arrived there and we provided a left-wing voice. The other parties

:02:18.:02:21.

were looking over their shoulders at us. The Green Party also increased

their size, adding an extra seat and sending hundreds in all 18

constituents. Once again, the Bulls are predicting our vote will go up

further. We don't want the selection and I don't think Northern Ireland

:02:59.:03:02.

the same. You do get what you bought for. If you go for a shambles and

:03:03.:03:08.

squander, you will get the same again. And what you say to people

:03:09.:03:13.

who think voting for smaller parties has no impact on Stormont? I think

:03:14.:03:18.

the smaller parties have stood out at those making a difference at

:03:19.:03:23.

Stormont, kneeling the issues, not bind the door in exposing the

:03:24.:03:26.

squander and shambles of Stormont. They may have bucked the trend last

time, but all the others last round. The smaller parties know this will

:03:33.:03:35.

be a very different battle on March the 2nd, that's because there are 18

impressive Dublin champions. That would be in the margin by the time

:04:27.:04:30.

the final whistle went. They did put up some resistance in the second

half. They did find an end, but ultimately, could not find their
