    Former Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams will receive taxpayer-funded compensation if government plans to repeal the Legacy Act go ahead, a think tank has claimed.

    Mr Adams, 76, is currently blocked from receiving compensation over his detention in prison without trial in the 1970s, despite winning an appeal in the Supreme Court in 2020 to overturn historical convictions for two attempted prison breaks.

    Sections of the Legacy Act agreed by parliament in 2023 in response to the Supreme Court ruling have blocked Mr Adams from receiving compensation.
