Gerry Adams ‘trying to stop any attempt to establish links to Provisional IRA’

Three bombing victims have sued former Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams (PA)

Three mainland bombing victims have accused former Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams of seeking to “close down any public hearing in which his membership of the Provisional Irish Republican Army might be evidenced and established”.

John Clark, a victim of the March 1973 Old Bailey bombing in London; Jonathan Ganesh, a victim of the February 1996 London Docklands bombing; and Barry Laycock, victim of the June 1996 Arndale shopping centre bombing in Manchester, have sued Mr Adams and the Provisional IRA and want “nominal” – £1 – damages.
