Audio interview with Liam Clarke, journalist, and Jude Collins, political commentator, by Stephen Nolan for BBC Radio Ulster The Nolan Show on 11 November 2013. Seven days earlier a BBC/RTE documentary entitled ‘The Disappeared’ was broadcast documenting the history of the ‘disappeared’ and the effects of these abductions, killings and secret burials on the families of the victims. The documentary also contained allegations that Gerry Adams had been involved in the Jean McConville case. In this interview Clarke and Collins discuss Adams’ future leadership of Sinn Fein in light of these persistent accusations. The Nolan Show is a daily current affairs programme on BBC Radio Ulster.
