Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Gerry Adams
Ms Claire Hanna:
Finally, the Good Friday Agreement states, and I think we have all said, that it is essential to acknowledge and address the suffering of victims. I think we all agree that for all victims the failure to do that and for their needs to be met, including in the ways Mr. Adams has set out over the past 25 years, have compounded their pain and the impact it has had on their lives. Notwithstanding that we all have our own legal rights including to our names and our characters, is Mr. Adams comfortable that legal action against victims of the Troubles helps to address healing and reconciliation and the frustration many feel about the absence of mechanisms for answers?
I do not understand the question. Is it about legal actions against victims?
