One of the three Irishmen detained in Colombia was Sinn Fein’s representative in Cuba, party president Gerry Adams admitted today.
Niall Connolly was arrested in Bogota in August on suspicion of training members of the left-wing TARC militia and for travelling on false passports.
Adams claimed his appointment was made without his knowledge or the authorisation of the international department of his party however.
