Adams denies involvement in McConville murder

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams denied involvement in the murder of Belfast woman Jean McConville in 1972 as the controversy erupted in the Dáil again.

Fianna Fáil leader Micheal Martin raised the matter in relation to a book looking at the murder which he called a “must-read”.

In reference to the row over the Boston College tapes, Mr Martin called on Mr Adams to make a statement on the matter after a book, Voices from the Grave, claimed that Mr Adams was involved in the disappearance.
