Gerry Adams
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether, when considering whether to give compensation to Gerry Adams, they have assessed whether Mr Adams was or remains a member of the Provisional IRA.
- Answer
-
Sections 46 and 47 of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 have been found by the Northern Ireland courts to be incompatible with the UK’s human rights obligations. The Government is committed to bringing forward new legacy legislation and as part of this we are looking at all conceivable options for addressing the complex issue of Interim Custody Orders and related compensation claims, in a lawful way.
