SINN FEIN 'ORCHESTRATED DRUMCREE DISTURBANCES'

Last nights RTE Prime Time programme alleged that Mr. Adams told a private republican conference last November in Athboy, Co. Meath, that the party was behind the protests on the Garvaghy Road, Portadown, the Lower Ormeau Road, Belfast and other areas. The Prime Time reporter, Justin O'Brien, said that the programme had a transcript of a speech made by Mr. Adams in Athboy.

Mr. O'Brien said that a crucial part of Mr. Adams's speech read: "Ask any activist in the North did Drumcree happen by accident, and they will tell you 'no' ..... three years of work on the Lower Ormeau Road, Portadown, and parts of Fermanagh and Newry, Armagh and Bellaghy, and up in Derry". "Three years' work went into creating that situation, and fair play to those people who put the work in".

According to Mr. O'Brien, the Sinn Fein president concluded: "And they are the type of scene changes that we have to focus in on, and develop, and exploit." The Irish Times 5 March 1997
