Gerry Adams Makes Statement on Murder of Brian Stack

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams was allowed time in the Dáil to make a statement on the 1983 murder of prison officer Brian Stack by the IRA. In his speech, Gerry Adams repeated his earlier assertion that the names he provided to the Garda Commissioner in relation to the case were given to him by Austin Stack, the son of the murdered prison guard. Adams said he never described these people as “suspects” and that Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin “misled the Dáil” in saying he did. Adams also said that the meeting he arranged between Stack and a former senior IRA leader was done ‘on the basis of confidentiality’ Stack has recently called on Adams to provide gardai with information about that former senior IRA leader: http://jrnl.ie/3126107 TheJournal.ie is an Irish news website that invites its users to shape the news agenda.
