IIRC, Gerry Adams was always performed by Stephen Rea, a moderately successful actor and heart-throb in certain circles. Adams said that SR “did me better than I do”.

Can't have the populace heating the voice of the guy who was never proven to be a member of the ra, better they listen to the sexy husband of convicted provo bomber Dolours Price instead.

Dolours being the sister of Marian Price who is currently suiting Disney over being depicted shooting Jean McConville in the back of the head in Say Nothing.

For what it’s worth, despite the legal situation, it is virtually unanimously accepted by historians, journalists, academics, and the wider Irish and British public, that Gerry Adams was a member of the IRA. Nobody seriously disputes this.

I mean, I have no opinion on this, but I know that if someone asks me “Are you a member of an organisation it’s a criminal offence to be a member of?” I’m gonna say no.

Price, of course, was a vocal opponent of the peace process championed by Gerry Adams. Lord knows what she says on the Boston Tapes.

Ironically, Stephen Rea was in V for Vendetta, a film about a British surveillance state.
