I feel like good interviewers can usually hide their contempt a little better than this. Asking tough questions without an accusatory tone can make them tougher. But when the interviewer gets a little wound up and the interviewee is calm as can be, credibility can become shaky. And whatever you may think of Gerry, you ought to know he's much too slick for that, and has been spending the last half century fielding questions like this.

Fought for catholics who couldn’t get houses jobs basically they were treated as second class citizens, they were having there houses ransacked by army and police and there is always two sides to any situation! Lots of atrocities have been committed by all sides ! And depending on where your moral compass is the IRA were either terrorists or freedom fighters!

You people want to start the clock at when the IRA fought BACK,and ignore the murder and mayhem that caused it. No,Queen Elizabeth has the most blood on her hands.She was/is the commander in chief of the British Army,who colluded with loyalists to murder catholics, unimpeded for decades, before Adams was even near the IRA. God,imagine if France invades and occupy's your country,murders and maims English people for 50 years,takes away democracy and rights to a trial,join the police etc...what would you do? Sit idle?

Born and raised in Sweden, at a safe distance from Ireland. To me, Gerry Adams comes through as an honest man who talks straight. And as a keen observer of body language, I think it is very obvious that he is telling the truth. Why is it so hard to understand that the IRA might have respected him big time and listened to his advice, whitout him being a member? Why is so hard for some accept that it is very possible to be a Republican, defend IRA's war against the Brittish Army, but condemn IRA's killing of innocent? Do people have a need to see everything in black or white?

[@undoubtedlykenny]

I'm on the same page as you, really. The IRA fucked up an awful lot and their actions need to be unequivocally condemned - but I'm still gonna take an extreme position and praise their defence of native republicans that were STRUCTURALLY discriminated against and harassed by the British Army. I only disagree with Adams on one thing - Brexit. I think Brexit will do Ireland and the UK the world of good since the UK can coordinate their own decisions and join EU free trade agreements.

[@dixienormous8559]

Geezus, you don't really have a clue do you? There was no British army to "harass" Irish natinalists before 1969. The Irish begged the British government to send in the troops because they had antagonised the unionists so much that they were about to get there asses kicked out of NI for good. Nationalist were discriminated against, and for good reason. They could not be trusted not to bite the hand that fed them!

The problem is 1m Protestants in the North dont want a United Ireland. Probably a large portion of people in the South of Ireland dont really want to be United with the North either. This isn't Sesame Street where all the neighbours get along. North Americans have no idea about Ireland even though they love to tell you their family came from there ten generations ago and they still consider themselves Irish. To be honest there is only one other group that the Northern Loyalists and Southern Republican Irish hate more than each other and that's dippy plastic paddys from North America......

[@christosshugeh9573]

@@auxrora6398 I think you will also find that your hate of the Brits is reciprocated by loyalists hate of the Irish and that's why there was murder and mayhem for 30 years. If you keep using the word hate you leave no room for love. Even if the British relinquished their sovereignty over the North the protestants will simply go to war with Dublin. Add to the mix that Dublin doesnt want the North then you can see that the status quo there at the minute is probably as good as it will get.

Gerry Adams is an extremely clever man, an effective leader and speaker who can now see a United Ireland as a reality. I think it might happen during my lifetime and I believe this would be a positive development. The hatred and bigotry found within elements of the loyalist community, the anti Catholic nonsense, a system based on gerrymandering political and economic control to the Protestant settlers in the North, all make for a poisonous brew and it's now time to burst this nasty boil...and return Ireland to a united situation where Britain has no more influence over it than France, Italy, Germany...

No one is saying that unionists are not entitled to live in a United Ireland, including Sinn Féin. Their identity would be protected and respected within a United Ireland. That's in the Good Friday Agreement. Also in the Irish Constitution. Maybe you should look up stuff before you write down incorrect stuff.

[@roisinmalone3015]

@@CarlosHernandez-cp8qd I just told you It's within the Good Friday Agreement that unionist identity will be protected post reunification. Sinn Féin support the Good Friday Agreement. Adams helped deliver it, getting republicans on board, whether you like him or not. So, that would've been a stupid question to ask him. Plus it was also put in the Irish Constitution and voted for by the people of Ireland. So, there is no question of unionists not being treated as equally, their identity not respected within a United Ireland.

[@roisinmalone3015]

@@CarlosHernandez-cp8qd Your incorrect stuff is suggesting that Marr ask Adams re unionists being entitled to keep their identity and be treated as equals within a United Ireland. Adams helped deliver the Good Friday Agreement which states that unionists identity would be protected and they would be treated as equals. post reunification. Plus your post is misleading ie all this, surely unionists are entitled to be treated as equals type stuff, as if that is not going to be the case. When it is in the Irish Constitution, voted for by the people of Ireland that unionist identity would be protected and they would be treated as equals within a United Ireland.

Adams & McGuiness are/were both crypto-jews. Neither of them have expressed the least concern with significant numbers of non-whites entering Ireland against the wishes of the indigenous people. They harp on British power over Ireland, but the British whites have a hell of a lot more in common with the indigenous Irish than do Somalian Muslims.
