How the IRA hid Liam Adams

[mmrebel]

In 1984, when the Provisional IRA needed someone to hide Liam Adams, they turned to a priest in New York for help. The approach to Father Patrick Moloney came not long after his first brush with the law. He remembers it was 1984 because it was the year he was acquitted of gun-running charges.

The approach to Father Moloney came from Belfast Provos, and Gerry Adams played no direct role in finding a bolthole for his brother. That was not surprising, since the priest distrusted the Sinn Féin leader's politics; he would probably have given him short shrift. But he was ready to help. It was clear Liam was in trouble, although Moloney did not know why.

Liam Adams's marriage to Sally Corrigan effectively ended in 1982 and he had taken up with another girl, Bronagh, who joined him in his New York hideout for a while and later married him in Dundalk. A picture of a smiling Gerry Adams at their wedding reception would eventually blow a hole in the Sinn Féin leader's cover story that he and Liam had been estranged since 1987.

Do you really believe that a handshake is more important than a case of child abuse, incest and child rape. You are a sad , sad, person.

Lets be honest here , this thread is about SF bashing, nothing else.

Read it again and you'll see it's about how a man accused of raping his own child was handled.
