Gerry Adams won’t name man who met Stacks

Gerry Adams strongly asserted yesterday he will not be disclosing the name of the individual who met the sons of murdered prison officer Brian Stack.

Continually pressed on whether he would name the senior IRA man the Stack family met or the man who drove them to a secret location, Mr Adams told a reporter: “You’re a journalist, you protect your sources. I protect my sources.”

He was also adamant he had kept all his commitments to the Stack family.
