Murder is murder, Michael Noonan tells Gerry Adams

Finance Minister Michael Noonan has warned Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams that “murder is murder” as he described claims more information on Brian Stack’s shooting cannot be provided due to the peace process as “nonsense”.

The government TD made the comment as a number of ministers joined forces to insist Mr Adams reveals the name of the Provisional IRA member who carried out an investigation into the 1983 killing and how the gunman was “disciplined”.

Speaking at an event in Co Limerick, Mr Noonan said Mr Adams is “obliged” to give any information he has to gardai.
