A civil trial between three men injured in Provisional IRA bombings and Gerry Adams is set to begin at the High Court in London on Monday. Mr Adams denies that he had any role in the Provisional IRA and is opposing the claim. The trial before Mr Justice Swift, due to begin at 10.30am on Monday at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, is expected to last seven days. The men also wanted to sue the Provisional IRA, but Mr Justice Soole said that the claim must be struck out because it is “not a legal entity”. Two of the witnesses due to give evidence against Mr Adams will be anonymous and will speak at the trial from behind a screen.
