Gerry Adams to pursue compensation for detention, amid UK reconsideration of Legacy Act.

Former Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams will continue to pursue compensation as a former detainee from Ireland's Troubles, with any funds received to be donated to good causes. The UK government is considering repealing parts of the Legacy Act, which previously blocked compensation claims, after a High Court ruling found it incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights. However, Labour leader Keir Starmer is exploring ways to prevent compensation payouts.
