Sir, – I have just read a report (Home News, September 28th) on how my ex-Westminister MP, Gerry Adams is unable to answer charges made by Dolours Price in the Sunday Telegraph on September 23rd in a court of law – the allegation concerning of bombing, kidnapping and murder – due to his lack of funds. I for one will not stand as a one-time constituent and see my ex-MP have his good name and commitment to the peace process put in doubt for the lack of funds.
Justice denied to Jean McConville and her family and to many others, must not be denied to Gerry Adams, former Westminster MP for West Belfast. I will therefore send a cheque for one euro to Adams’s Dáil office and would appeal and urge others interested in the truth to promote democracy and freedom of speech to do the same. Indeed, would perhaps another good citizen call for a fighting fund to help clear Mr Adams’s name and reputation from these charges once and for all? – Yours, etc,
