    Have very little info here but just been told Gerry Adams has been arrested by the PSNI in relation to the McConville case. SF statement expected around 9pm.

    I posted this in politics too but I think it's something that will get a lot of attention here as well.





    MOD: Labelling people who disagree with you as "Shinnerbots" is not going to be tolerated here any more. If that's the extent of you debating skills then it's best that you just don't post anything.

    SF statement:
    http://www.sinnfein.ie/contents/29746
    Last month Gerry Adams said he was available to meet the PSNI about the Jean McConville case. That meeting is taking place this evening.

    Gerry Adams said:

    “Last month I said that I was available to meet the PSNI about the Jean McConville case. While I have concerns about the timing, I am voluntarily meeting with the PSNI this evening.

    “As a republican leader I have never shirked my responsibility to build the peace. This includes dealing with the difficult issue of victims and their families. Insofar as it is possible I have worked to bring closure to victims and their families who have contacted me. Even though they may not agree, this includes the family of Jean McConville.

    “I believe that the killing of Jean McConville and the secret burial of her body was wrong and a grievous injustice to her and her family.

    “Well publicised, malicious allegations have been made against me. I reject these.

    “While I have never disassociated myself from the IRA and I never will, I am innocent of any part in the abduction, killing or burial of Mrs McConville.

    “Sinn Féin has signed up to the Haass proposals for dealing with the past. While I also respect the right of families if they wish to seek legal redress there remains a huge onus on the two governments and the political parties to face up to all these issues and to agree a victim centred process which does this.”

    ENDS

    I was told arrested looks like the person told me got their wires crossed.

    Edit. Nevermind, BBC reporting he was in fact arrested.

    RTE just said that the PSNI have arrested "a 65 year old man" in relation to the case.

    Nice to see Gerry keeping up his powers of cognative dissonance at this time of life.

    Perhaps he practices..."I may have showered this morning, but there is no evidence connecting me with soap"
