Gerry Adams - Spoke on Spanish radio

Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has said remarks he made yesterday during a radio interview in Madrid about the Northern Bank robbery before Christmas have been misrepresented.

He said he had made it clear that he believed the IRA when it said it was not involved.

He said any other interpretation of his remarks was mischievous and misleading.

During the interview, in which his remarks were translated into Spanish by an interpreter, Mr Adams also used the phrase 'Maybe I'm wrong' before repeating that he believed the IRA.
