Republicanism Is Part Of Our DNA', Says IRA Bomber Dolours Price

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

A US appeal court has ruled that interviews given by former IRA bomber Dolours Price should be handed over to the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

The interviews are part of the Boston College Belfast Project which began in 2001 and lasted five years.

Former IRA member Anthony McIntyre and journalist Ed Moloney argued that the release could harm the peace process.

The material – wanted by police as part of an ongoing Disappeared inquiry – is expected to be handed over next month.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is seeking the transcripts of an interview given by Price, who took part in a London bombing in 1973, to Mr McIntyre and Boston College.

Transcripts

She later gave an interview to a newspaper journalist, in which she admitted that she had taken part in the Belfast Project.

In that interview she allegedly claimed to have been the person who drove one of the Disappeared, mother-of-10 Jean McConville, to her death in 1972.

Dolours Price told a newspaper journalist she had taken part in the Belfast Project

The Disappeared were people abducted, murdered and secretly buried by the IRA.

The PSNI said it had re-opened the inquiry into Mrs McConville’s murder was seeking the transcripts on that basis. Today she looks like any other 61-year-old, the type you might pass in the street without noticing, should you be walking through the quiet Dublin suburb where she lives.

But the story which Dolours Price has come forward to tell has the potential to derail the process which has brought peace to Northern Ireland for the past 15 years.

She claims Gerry Adams, the president of Sinn Fein who helped bring about the IRA’s ceasefire and the Good Friday Agreement, has not always been a man of peace.

In fact Price, herself a convicted IRA bomber, accuses him not only of having approved the bombing of targets on mainland Britain – including the Old Bailey – but of personally ordering the abduction of several people the IRA considered to be traitors. Adams categorically denies her claims.

It is an extraordinary charge sheet, which has a deep personal motive behind it: she feels that Adams has “betrayed” the Republican cause by being involved in the peace process, and that he has betrayed her and other IRA members by denying he was one of their number.In 2010, she offered to help the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains to find the graves of three men abducted and killed by the IRA, Joe Lynskey, Seamus Wright and Kevin McKee – although she has not offered to co-operate with the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

Dolours’s sister Marian is currently in prison hospital in Northern Ireland after falling ill while on remand for charges relating to aiding the dissident Real IRA’s campaign of violence.

Adams denies Price’s claims. He said: “I reject again, as I have consistently rejected, the allegations contained in The Sunday Telegraph interview.”

Price herself remains unrepentant about her role. Asked if she is happy that what she now says may disrupt the peace process, she says: “I don’t believe in the process. ,” she said. “I think the process should be undermined, I think the process should be destroyed in some way and I think Gerry Adams, deserves to admit to his part, in all of the things that happened.”
