Sinn Fein had a virtual "diners' club" organised during Stormont's lengthy peace process talks, former president Gerry Adams said. Alex Attwood, SDLP candidate for Belfast West and former Stormont minister, said the tweet demonstrated a “staggering deficiency in judgment” by the Sinn Féin president.

I think Jeremy is an outstanding politician and I hope my endorsement of him is not used against him in the time ahead,” Adams said. But “Martin” in the programme claimed this was an opportunistic move by the republican dissidents to promote the idea they had murdered a top British agent. The 69-year-old-republican played a pivotal role in shifting the IRA to a permanent ceasefire in the 1990s and nudging Sinn Féin towards embracing power sharing with its former unionists enemies in Northern Ireland.

The revelation cooked up a storm on social media, with suggested recipe titles including “the peas process”, “pizza in our time”, “ Mary Lou’s Irish stew” and “Cookie Ár Lá” – a reference to the Irish republican phrase Tiocfaidh ár lá, meaning “our day will come”.Before his death in 2008, Hughes gave an interview to the Boston College Belfast Project history archive detailing his life in the IRA. More than 1,900 suspects were interned in the early years of the Troubles as violence spiralled out of control.

Adams said the bombing would undermine his efforts to obtain a visa for fundraising in the US, which was one of many “tactical reasons” for not wanting further violence.

The attraction of them is you can make them the night before, which is what happened obviously, and then transport them to wherever you want. I will not be standing for the Dáil; neither will Martin Ferris [a former IRA gunrunner and Sinn Féin TD]. His longstanding connection to the IRA’s violent “armed struggle” and his often poor performances in Dáil parliamentary debates continue to alienate vast sections of the Irish Republic’s middle class.

The DoJ said in 2021 that Adams was ineligible for compensation for a miscarriage of justice because it was the analysis of a legal point that led to the guilty verdicts being overturned, rather than a new or newly discovered fact. The first was an amendment championed by Lord Faulks KC, reversing the legal effects of the Supreme Court’s decision in R v Adams in 2020.

After two decades of travelling back and forth to the USA and countless meetings in the White House with successive US presidents, this is an unacceptable development,” he said. The mass support on the streets for the hunger strikers convinces Adams of the need to engage in electoral politics. The director of public prosecutions for Northern Ireland, who is the respondent in the case, has successfully argued in the Northern Ireland courts that the Carltona principle – based on a 1943 test case – allows that “where parliament specifies that a decision is to be taken by a specified minister, generally that decision may be taken by an appropriate person on behalf of the minister.
