Adams 'harangued over McCartney murder'

Gerry Adams was harangued in a republican area of Belfast while canvassing in the British General Election because of his stance on the murder of father-of-two Robert McCartney, it was claimed today.

Sources said the Sinn Féin president and former Belfast mayor Alex Maskey faced criticism from some people in the south of the city for supporting the McCartney family’s demand for justice.
