Gerry Adams in the news because UK case against him over IRA bomb claims is dropped. Irish republican leader, Sinn Féin president 1983–2018.
On March 20, 2026, three victims of IRA bombings discontinued their civil lawsuit against former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams in London's High Court. The claimants sought symbolic damages, alleging Adams was a senior IRA member responsible for bombings in 1973 and 1996. Adams denied all involvement, and the case ended without costs awarded.
