Episode Synopsis

Irish republican Gerry Adams was subject to an interim custody order in 1973 but now seeks to challenge it on the basis of new evidence that suggests the order should have been signed by the Secretary of State. We discuss whether this is a mere technicality and what consequences the decision of the Supreme Court will have.
