Gerry adams accused of showing contempt for the oliver family

Gerry Adams has been accused of showing contempt for the family of a murdered Louth man.

Tom Oliver, a sheep farmer, was abducted from his home in Riverstown in 1991 before being killed by the IRA. The Sinn Féin President said yesterday that jailing those responsible would be counter-productive. Fianna Fáil leader Michael Martin has described his remarks as expansionary and bizarre. Austin Stack - whose father Brian was killed by the IRA - says Gerry Adam's comments are shameful and disrespectful.
