Cannot stand Gerry Adams or the IRA Nicko, have always thought he was guilty myself of many crimes and I am all for a united Ireland myself, but that will come from the people themselves wanting this and not violence

Morning Didge.  This is all we need, old wars flaming up on our doorstep!  The Irish papers are saying this is political.  Personally I find it repulsive that a terrorist like Adams ever got to such a high position in politics, but then what do I know, only what I read.  There's something about the man though - makes me shiver.

Morning Tess

The thing is he has never even wanted to participate in our Parliament, that is not even reconciling either as well Tess, showing the peace process is far from being completed and from the people I know, he was heavily involved in the terrorism, but I can only go on that of word of mouth, and I agree he is cold and callus.
Guess we will have to await this to see how it pans out.

Anything good Irish links to this Tess, to see their view point?

SF election hopes hit as Adams arrested over mother-of-10's murder

Sinn Féin has claimed last night’s arrest of Gerry Adams in connection with the abduction and murder of Jean McConville more than 40 years ago was “politically motivated” and designed to damage the party and its leader.

See - more about the politics than the murder of the poor woman.

If there is enough evidence to bring him to trial then that's what should happen.

He was well aware of the situation.  By attending the police station he took out the media embarrassment of being publically arrested.

Some info must be quite serious as I doubt anyone would risk such a high profile arrest in the circumstances as NI and the republic's politics.

Maybe the establishment want him out on both sides.

There have been statements made by two separate witnesses on separate occasions linking him to the murder.  Both agreed to make the statements on condition they weren't made public during their lifetimes.  They were at Boston College and have only just been released by the US, as the witnesses are now dead. I suspect there might be some more evidence though, as it'll be tricky just to rely on the word of dead people.

I think you are right.
