Adams: Self-preservation will not prevail in McCartney case

Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has stated in the strongest terms yet his determination that those responsible for Robert McCartney’s death should come forward.

Mr Adams said he would not let the matter rest until those who had shamed republicanism were brought to account.

“Although many people have come forward – others have not, particularly some who may have been directly involved in Robert’s murder. In my view these people must give a full account through whatever conduit they chose,” he said.

“I want also to restate with absolute clarity that whoever killed Robert McCartney should come forward and take responsibility for this. That is what I meant when I said that if I was involved I would make myself accountable to the courts.

“So far Robert McCartney’s killer has not had the courage to do this. Self-preservation and selfishness will not prevail in this case.

“I am not letting this issue go until those who have sullied the republican cause are made to account for their action.”
