Public Interest is Important in Gerry Adams Case


According to observers, the Gerry Adams case is very delicate simply because it affects the balance of political powers in Ireland. The impact of charges against Adams, who had a connection to the killing of Mrs. McConville and ordered the woman’s death, could upset the balance of the public.


According to the son of Jean McConville, Michael had told police that Gerry Adams will receive a “backlash” should he decide to release the names of the people who killed her. Adams denied the statement. On Sunday, he was released after being questioned about the case, which happened in 1972.

Police believed that Adams had connections with the Irish Republican Army.

However, Michael vowed to get justice for his mother’s death.

Law experts said that the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland should step in and oversee all criminal proceedings on behalf of police forces. The Justice Act of 2002 binds them so. The police is advised to leave the decisions to the Public Prosecution Service of the DPP.

The impact of the Gerry Adams case in the power-sharing government of Northern Ireland may shake violently, according to political analysts. Adams was released on Sunday, but the PPS will can still call him back if evidences point to charges against him.
