Adams faces calls for apology over IRA attackMonday 23 March 2015 16.38 The sister of a man who died after a so-called "punishment" shooting by the IRA has called on Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams to make a public apology. Andrew Kearney, 33, from west Belfast bled to death after he was shot three times in the leg in 1998. Speaking to the RTÉ Investigations Unit in a programme to be broadcast tonight, his sister Eleanor King said she met Mr Adams. "He should have come forward and told the IRA what to do, as in to come forward and admit it publicly. And, yes, give a public apology. "And in my opinion, if he had done that, even if he didn't call for anybody to be arrested or anything, but just even the public apology and the public acceptance, it would have caused the family a lot less heartache over the years." Also featured in the programme is Thomas Marley, whose son Gerard died by suicide in 1997 after he was the victim of two "punishment" attacks. Gerard was from the Divis area of west Belfast and was involved in joyriding. His father said: "[The IRA] kept on doing it, killing people with their shotguns blowing legs off, using bars. They thought it was fun, it was the right thing. But it wasn't.' In 1998, Andrew Peden was packing up his car for a trip to the seaside with his young family when he was abducted by the UVF. They beat him for 12 hours before shooting him in the legs with a shotgun. He spent several months in hospital. Both of his legs were amputated above the knee. The attack happened just three weeks after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement. During the Troubles, most of the attacks took place in north and west Belfast. What began in republican areas was copied by loyalists who went on to carry out more beatings and shootings than republicans. ‘Above The Law’, a Below The Radar TV production in association with the RTÉ Investigations Unit, will be broadcast on RTÉ One at 9.35pm.

Iarann deirfiúr fir a mharaigh an IRA i 'mbatráil pionóis' sa bhliain 1998 leithscéal ó Gerry AdamsDé Luain 23 Márta 2015 17.16 Labhair Eleanor king le foireann aonaid imscrúdaithe RTÉ mar pháirt de chlár atá le craoladh anocht. Deir sí ann gur chas sí le Adams. Deir sí gur cóir go mbeadh treoir tugtha aige don IRA agus gur cóir dó féin leithsceal poiblí a ghabháil faoinar tharla. Sa chlár céanna cloisfear scéal Gerard Marley a chuir lámh ina bhás féin i 1997 i ndiaidh dó 'batráil pionóis' a fháil ón IRA. Labhraíonn athair Gerard, Thomas Marley sa chlár céanna. Deir sé gur lean an IRA ag tabhairt batráil do dhaoine, ag pléascadh a gcosa le gránghunnaí agus á mbualadh le barraí iarainn. Insíonn scéal eile go raibh Andrew Peden ag bailiú a chlann len iad a thógaint ar lá spraoi cois-trá nuair a fhuadaigh an UVF é. Thugadar batráil dó ar feadh 12 uaire sular chaith siad sna cosa é le gránghunna. Tháinig sé slán ach gur caitheadh a dhá chos a bhaint i ndiaidh míonna san ospidéal. Craolfar an clár ar RTÉ 1 anocht ag 9.35p.m.
