Description

Former Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams and 400 others could be in line for "a pay day from the taxpayer" under plans to repeal the Legacy Act, to change legislation barring compensation to those who were interned without trial during the Troubles in the 1970.  

We got reaction from Austin Stack, Son of murdered prison officer Brian Stack & Author of Justice for My Father, which will be released on the 13th of March.
