Gerry Adams never sued over IRA membership claims on advice he ‘would not get a fair hearing’
Gerry Adams said he regarded the programme as 'a straight ambush'.
Gerry Adams has told the High Court that he did not take legal action over repeated claims he was a Provisional IRA member and sat on its army council because he was advised that he would not get a fair hearing.
The former Sinn Féin leader also told the court on Wednesday that the fact that he was suing the BBC over claims made in a 2016 programme showed how serious he took those claims.
