Gerry Adams

Thank Nigglynellie, for pulling together the CS,MC and GA threads that have sometimes made unpleasant reading. I agree with you that in all humanity, it's owed to the deceased mother and those who loved her to attempt to bring to justice the individuals who instigated and carried out such a dreadful, brutal crime.

it may jeopardise the peace process, but not to investigate would also jeopardise any hope of peace in the longer term.

Sorry, posted too soon. Thanks Pogs for setting out the background to the investigation, the Boston tapes. This makes it harder for me to accept accusations that the timing of the investigation is political. Other than that of course all such investigations will be tainted by politics. I wonder whether any charges will follow. The police must have been given support from the highest level in their service, to have sent a file to the PPS.

Thanks Mishap. Wonder if that means they think they have got enough to prosecute him. And would it be for planning, or physically carrying out the crime.

I understand that the Police cannot accept the evidence of this murdered lady's daughter as she didn't actually see the 'brave' men and women(!) who took her mother away, and only has the evidence of her siblings who were actually there. Her brother of course, the recipient of additional terror, is still too frightened to give any evidence - probably with good reason. I too wonder how this enquiry will 'pan out. I still think, in the interests of NI peace, it will wither and be quietly filed away. I know that this fragile peace is vitally important, but at the expense of bringing these 'monsters' (WHOEVER they are) to justice does leave a nasty taste and the knowledge that some people ARE above the law - we shall see, perhaps I'm wrong, I hope so!!

Good post niggly.

I heard on the news this afternoon that the son called Michael, previously too scared to name names has now said that Gerry Adams warned him 10 years ago, not to name anyone.
