Stack family call for Adams to reveal details of father’s killer

The sons of a murdered prison officer have called on Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams to reveal the name of an IRA official who knows the identity of their father’s killer.

Mr Adams was also accused by the Stack family last night of lying, after he gave a statement in the Dáil about what he knew about the murder of prison guard Brian Stack in 1983.

The party leader now faces growing pressure to co-operate with gardaí, to reveal the names of any individuals with knowledge about the killing and to also ask Sinn Féin figures to answer questions.
