GUEST,LK867 BS: Gerry Adams arrest (194* d) RE: BS: Gerry Adams arrest 03 May 14


Besides the Boston tapes, the late Dolours Price did an interview with a local person (amateur project) and it graphically details the events concerning the late Mrs.McConville. Her family are in receipt of this tape, I would imagine the police would be too. It is damming.

As I said, Sinn Fein have been taking a pounding on the doorsteps recently from republicans during canvassing for the forthcoming local government elections and the European elections.

Many republicans have issues with the party regarding policing and the lack of responsive action regarding the recent flag protests, something a high court judge recently criticized the police for.

Also for attending functions with members of the Royal family and Martin McGuinness referring to new wave republicans as Treacherous scum"

Sinn Fein have focused previous election campaigns on the S.D.L.P. vote with some success. S.D.L.P. voters tend to be middle class church going Catholics, the fact Sinn Fein have come out recently in support of same sex marriages and stated they are pro abortion could see a decline in that vote.

I still see the arrest of Adams as a stunt, this matter had to be addressed with him officially. As I said yesterday, he will be charged with membership and released, this token gesture could take the strain of party canvassers and elevate Adams standing among some republicans. Regarding actual convictions for murder, that is another matter.
