Gerry Adams has told the High Court he never brought a defamation action against any of the numerous media outlets that described him as a Provisional IRA leader because he received legal advice he would “not get a fair hearing”.
The former Sinn Féin president said he was “irritated” rather than appalled by these claims as they made it harder for unionists, loyalists and protestant church leaders to have dialogue with him.
