Call for Adams to respond to claims

Gerry Adams has been called upon to make a statement to the Dáil following fresh claims that he approved IRA bombings and abductions.

Fine Gael chairman Charlie Flanagan said Mr Adams should address the matter in a statement to the House.

“I am calling on Gerry Adams to address the Dáil this week to clarify claims made by Dolores Price, a convicted IRA bomber, that he was personally involved in IRA bombings and executions,” he said.
