Gerry Adams argument about not trying to save his politcal skin falls apart..He's on record saying this about his father's abuse.

Had he not been buried as a former republican activist in the 1930s, a former prisoner, that would have drawn attention to the fact that there was something wrong.

Who was he trying to protect then? Surely he knew what was going on before his father died. Something wasn't just wrong but rotten.

Marty,

and why did he out the da after ensuring he got a full republican funeral?

He knew at the time of the funeral about his father's history.

It seems he outed the da because someone else approached him and delivered an ultimatum. The Big Liar moved first to outflank a critic not because he he any desire to make it public for its own sake. He sought to turn necessity into virtue.

The court must be sitting in amazement watching them each accusing the other of being a liar. Sir Liealot is well used to it by now.

In court today, Liam Adams stated its not true what Gerry said, he never had any meetings with him, and, at the time of the so called meeting in Donegal , Liam stated , he was living in Dublin. A policeman was asked if gerry stated that Liam confessed of the sexual assault, the policeman stated , NO. are the whole family born Liars!. I'm trying to fathom that one out.

Marty,

that's right. What happened was that Tricky Dicky wrote a piece saying he was the author. But then some journalist pointed out that the author of the Brownie piece had referred to having a visit with his wife and kid. But Tricky Dicky was not married at the time and had no wife or child. The Big Liar fitted that description. So then Tricky came back and said he wrote part of it - the part about being an IRA volunteer. He took some stick over that. When they were in the cages Tricky and Big Liar were in opposing camps. Tricky was with the Davy Morley faction and Big Liar was behind the opposition.

Marty on the point of Gerry Adams denial. From what I've gleemed (learnt so far), while writing under the pen name Brownie he admitted it once that he (Brownie) was a member of the IRA..And I think thats why he's denied being Brownie ever since...(hope that make sense, it does in my head)..

Maybe someone could correct me..

After swearing to tell the truth and nothing but the whole truth,if I had been one of the barristers I,d have reminded the bearded one he swore to tell the truth,then I would have asked him how long he was in the ra ..
