Adams call on McCartney killers to own up
In his speech to the Sinn Féin Árd Fhéis in Dublin, the party’s leader, Gerry Adams, said Robert McCartney’s killers should come forward.
He said the only decent thing for them to do is to admit to the killing in a court of law.
Mr McCartney’s five sisters sat in the front row of the Árd Fhéis in the RDS, after being invited to attend by Mr Adams.
He said that Robert McCartney’s murder was dreadful, not only because it robbed his family of a brother and a father, but because republicans were involved.
Mr Adams also said there is no place in Republicanism for anyone involved in criminality.
