"I Helped Disappear People. My Orders Came From Gerry Adams."

Those are the words of Dolours Price, the first woman to become a member of the Provisional IRA, the leader of the unit that bombed London in March 1973 and the hunger-striker who endured months of force-feeding in British prisons before eventually being released on grounds of ill-health. The words are from an interview with The Irish News in which she makes several claims but the one that stands out for me is her claim that Gerry Adams was her Officer Commanding from whom she took orders in person.

Gerry Adams denies the allegations, but then he would.

Not a whisper of coverage on the BBC to whom allegiance to the sainted Gerry is of great importance.
