Gerry Adams May Have 'Deluded' Himself over IRA Membership, High Court Hears
Three victims seek legal recognition of Gerry Adams's alleged IRA leadership and responsibility for bombings in 1973 and 1996, claiming he was a key strategist for over 30 years.
- At the High Court in London, claimants allege the former Sinn Féin leader was responsible for IRA bombings in 1973 and 1996, with evidence from a former military intelligence officer this afternoon.
- Adams denies ever being a member of the IRA and his lawyers argue he has repeatedly denied the allegations, while claimants seek 1 in damages.
- John Ware told the court that his reporting exposed alleged collusion and he believes Gerry Adams was on the IRA army council for more than 30 years as a key strategist.
- Questioning in court revealed that a witness questioned by Adams's lawyer confirmed he had no first‑hand knowledge of who was responsible for the three cited bombings.
- The trial before Mr Justice Swift is expected to end this week, and Ware said Adams accepts credit for ceasefires while excising his earlier alleged operational role, affecting reputation and history.
