Was Gerry Adams in the IRA? - Inside the landmark £1 court case
Published 7 hours ago
Description
For decades, Gerry Adams has denied being a member of the Provisional IRA. Now, for the first time, that claim is being challenged in an English courtroom. Three men, all victims of separate IRA bombings, have taken civil action against the former Sinn Féin leader for the symbolic sum of £1 in damages. But after his resounding libel victory over the BBC last year, how will he fare under this new and very different legal scrutiny? And what could the consequences be if the judge rules in favour of the victims?
Host: Tessa Fleming, Guests: Kurtis Reid, John Downing.
