High Court judge allows Gerry Adams to face lawsuit by 1970s/90s bombing victims, while exempting IRA responsibility.

A High Court judge has ruled that Gerry Adams, a former Sinn Fein leader, can continue facing a lawsuit brought forth by three victims who were injured in bombings in the 1970s and 1990s attributed to the Irish Republican Army (IRA). The judge determined that Adams can be held personally liable, though not as a representative of the IRA. The lawsuit is one of the last legal efforts by victims of the "Troubles" to seek justice and compensation in this matter.
