Jerry Adams tells that the membership of the defamation case in the Irish Republican Army was “not a path I took”

Jerry Adams said that the membership of the Irish Republican Army “is not a path that I took” because he was interrogated about his previous comments and republican ties during a defamation trial.

The 76 -year -old said that the attempt to “strangle” the jury in history, as he was asked to remember the events during the problems and the peace process.

The former Sinn Féin leader said that he will not “predict” the members of the Irish Republican Army or its bases while he was in the witness fund as part of the defamation case against the BBC.

When asked if there was no official record of the membership of the Irish Republican army, Mr. Adams said he was supposed to have been there.

He said: “I was not the way I took,” he said, adding that he instead joined Shane Vin.

He also told the court that Shane Vin “was not the political wing of any organization” and said that the claim that the party is taking orders from “a person in Honoli House” is ridiculous.

Mr. Adams presented evidence for the fifth day as part of the BBC defamation case at the Supreme Court in Dublin.

He claims that the BBC Spotlight, and a accompanying story on the Internet, distorts it by claiming that he had killed the former Shane Vin official Dennis Donaldson.

Mr. Donaldson, who was working for Shin Fein, was shot in Duneing in 2006, after months of recognizing his role as a police agent and MI5 for 20 years.

Mr. Adams denies any involvement.

In 2009, the true Irish Republican army admitted the killing of Mr. Donaldson.

Spotlight’s program was broadcast in September 2016.

The trial opened last week with the lawyer of Mr. Adams, Tom Hogan SC, saying that the previous Sinn Féin president as a “peacemaker” was attacked by an “unjustified” attack due to the BBC program.

On Tuesday, Mr. Adams participated in tense exchanges with the BBC Lawyer Gallaghar on his knowledge of the Irish Republican Army and the quotes attributed to him in media interviews.

He said that a number of people publicly admitted that they were members of the Irish Republican army, but “he was not ready to speculate in this court” about who was in the Irish Republican army at any time.

Mr. Gallaghar asked him several times whether he was familiar with the structures and rules of the Irish Republican army, which Mr. Adams said I had already answered the question.

Adams said: “I do not intend to speculate on any of these issues regarding the Irish Republican Army,” Adams said.

In response to a question about who was responsible for the West Belfast Brigade in the Irish Republican Army in 1972, Mr. Adams said: “I will not speculate.”

During the tense exchanges, Mr. Gallaghar asked Mr. Adams whether his answer was that throughout the period of problems, regardless of the people who knew themselves as members of the Irish Republican army, he was not aware of those in the Irish Republican army.

Adams replied, “You don’t seem ready to accept my answers.”

Mr. Adams was asked about the request of the Irish Republican Army to release a “senior officer in Blam Board” from Long Kish as part of the efforts made to ensure the ceasefire in 1972.

Mr. Gallaghar put to Mr. Adams that this indicates to him.

Adams said: “Perhaps there was a senior officer in the Belfast Brigade, it was not me,” Adams said.

Mr. Gallaghar asked whether any senior officer was released in Belgast Brigade, and Mr. Adams answered that he was “unprepared to predict” about the case of members of the Irish Republican Army “that was issued or otherwise.”

When Mr. Gallagher said he took his answer to mean “You are not aware.” Mr. Adams said: “No, do not take it like my answer.

“I say I am not ready to speculate.”

When clicking on whether he will not answer any questions regarding the Irish Republican army, Mr. Adams said that the attempt to “strangle” jury in a terrible history.

“What is the relationship of this with Dennis Donaldson?” Mr. Adams said.

The jury was displayed on a montage for various broadcasts of interviews with many characters, including Sean Mac Stehofen, Billy Maki and Dis Long.

Mr. Adams said that Mr. Mac Stiofain, Chief of Staff of the “Irish Republican Army”, which was devastated “, was” wrong “in claiming that he was in the Irish Republican Army during a media clip offered to the jury.

Mr. Adams accused the defense of the search for “strangling the jury in the montage of very selective elements” and who were “in most cases with the people who were completely hostile to the project in which it participated.”

A video clip was also shown in the form of Mr. Adam

“Mr. Mcilmurray, like anyone who lives in West Belfast, knows that the result of her media is death,” he said in the clip.

Under the interrogation of Mr. Gallaghar, Mr. Adams said his observation was “very harsh” but was presented with other comments at a press conference including the expression of his currencies with the family of Mr. Mcilmurray.

He denied that the statement had been warned or threatened, or that he was blaming the Mcilmurray.

Mr. Adams was also asked about an interview with the Guardian in 1982, which the court heard about quotations that he mentioned that the only complaints that he had Republican and opposing union about the death of politician Norman Streong in 1981 was that he had not been shot 40 years ago.

Mr. Adams said that his comments reflect the opinion at that time, and he said he was “shocked” of killing.

“It is a matter of history, it was done,” he said.

Under the interrogation, he said: “I have never returned from my point of view that the campaign of the Irish Republican army, whatever it was from its elements, was a legitimate response to the military occupation.”

He said that he was not “repeated” from this position while he was on the platform.

Mr. Adams said that it is “wrong” to describe his political efforts “as completely linked and completely linked to IRA” and said that “it is not the only work that I was around.”

He added that he supported the “right” of the Irish Republican army in an armed conflict, but said that it was “unlimited” to the actions of the Irish Republican army.

Mr. Adams said that he was not aware of the “disappearance” of people until the peace process began and said that he could not comment on the reason for his occurrence, but he called him “horrific”.

“It was wrong, bad enough to be killed by informants, but their bodies disappear completely.”

He told the court that he believed that he had met all the families of those who shot it secretly by the Irish Republican Army, with the exception of Robert Nairak.

Mr. Adams was also asked about the book, he said nothing, and he said he did not read and that he relied on “completely interesting” tapes.

He was also asked about an interview with the former Northern Ireland editor, Ed Moloni, to which the court heard about Mr. Adams’s comments regarding the kidnapping of Don Teddy businessman in 1983.

The court heard that he said that Mr. Adams expressed his regret for the killing of an Irish soldier and Garda during the rescue operation, but he claimed that temporary militants “were doing their duty.”

He said he did not remember these comments and said he was “very clearly” that he was Washin Fein, “they were opposing what happened.”

Adams told the court: “The situation I assumed at that time was what happened wrong,” Adams told the court.

He was asked about a clip in a clip gathered in the Belfast City Hall in August 1995, where he said, “They did not disappear, as you know.”

Mr. Adams told the court that he was responding to Lakler in the crowd, which said, “The Irish Republican Army is repeating.”

He said he was “not tested” and “was not a bad response” in keeping people in the plane.

When he showed a picture of Mr. Adams, wearing a black hat at the funeral of Jimmy Steel in Belfast, Mr. Adams refused to confirm Mr. Gallagher that he was “wearing members of the Irish Republican army at the funeral in Era.”

At one time, Mr. Adams told the BBC lawyer, “Mr. Gallagher, I am not a trial here today,” which Mr. Gallagr said if I heard it was part of the session.

The trial, which is expected to last for four weeks, will continue on Wednesday.
