Gerry Adams faces 2026 civil trial over IRA bombing claims during the Troubles.

Former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams will face a civil trial in London in 2026, accused by IRA bombing victims of overseeing attacks during the Troubles. The seven-day trial, set for February to June 2026, will see Adams, who denies IRA involvement, defending himself against claims of orchestrating mainland bombings in the 1970s and 1990s. The three claimants, seeking nominal damages of £1, include victims of the 1973 Old Bailey, 1996 London Docklands, and 1996 Manchester Arndale bombings.
