Fury as Gerry Adams in Line for Troubles Payout Under New Labour Law

Compensation for Former Sinn Fein Leader

Former Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams is set to receive compensation after Labour lifted a ban on Troubles damages. This move has sparked outrage among peers.

Controversial Decision

Ministers have been criticized for scrapping the ban on historic damages, allowing Adams and other Irish Republican extremists to claim compensation for being held during the Troubles.

Legal Battle

Adams, who denies being in the IRA, was previously refused a payout for being unlawfully held in the Maze Prison. However, after winning a legal challenge, he may now seek compensation.

Policy Exchange Report

A report by think tank Policy Exchange has condemned the decision, warning that it could lead to a wave of meritless litigation related to events that occurred over 50 years ago.
