| | Born in October 1948, in his youth he worked as a barman in a Belfast city centre bar where he was fascinated by the political gossip traded among its clientele of journalists and lawyers. | | | All this would be done to usher in a once unthinkable agreement between Gerry Adams and his bete noire Ian Paisley. | | | In December 2004, Gerry Adams broke new ground by meeting Northern Ireland's Chief Constable Hugh Orde - a clear signal that republicans were considering supporting the police who they once regarded as "legitimate targets". |

| | Born in Belfast, Adams became involved with Northern Ireland politics from an early age; his father was an IRA activist who was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment for attempted murder. | | | Though an MP, Adams has declined to take up his seat in the House of Commons because he has refused to swear an oath of allegiance to the British queen, although from 2002 he was given an office in the Palace of Westminster. | | | The best known face of the Irish republican movement, for many years his voice was not allowed to be broadcast in the UK because of his alleged links to the IRA. |

| | Adams, a few years ago, Senator [George] Mitchell [D-Maine, who helped negotiate the 1998 peace agreement] stood before this Council extolling the virtues of the Good Friday agreement, and for a while, we heard stories about schools being set up that welcomed both Catholic and Protestant children. | | | I heard that part of it was that Tony Blair demanded photographing the disarmament and that that displeased the IRA, but I’m still not clear on why it was derailed. | | | So the White House has decided not to invite the Irish parties to the White House. |

| | Gerry's Kids - The IRA and Sinn Fein are in trouble. So where does Gerry Adams go from here? By Scott MacMillan |
| | No surprise, then, that Adams was not invited to the White House St. Patrick's Day party this year. | | | This may partly explain why British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who views the Good Friday Agreement as one of his greatest achievements, is still talking to Adams. | | | His book, which plumbed IRA sources to tell the story of Adams' long-denied militant past and his drive for peace, shows how the leader has moved his people to do his bidding not by straightforward persuasion but by orchestrating events—often with Machiavellian duplicity and guile—so that his desired outcome is inevitable. |

| | Yasser Arafat and Gerry Adams: Caught in the Middle of the Struggle for Peace |
| | Adams, as leader of Sinn Fein, the political arm of the outlawed IRA, instigated bombings in London in the early 1970's to prove to the British government that the IRA was a force to be reckoned with, and would use any means nessessary to end the British government's control over Northern Ireland. | | | A great deal of pressure for Arafat and Adams to enter peace negotiations came from citizens in their home territories, which were so weary and devastated by bloodshed that terrorist actions were no longer supported by ordinary residents who supported the organizations' goals. | | | While the Isreali and British governments have looked to Arafat and Adams to control activity within their organizations and territories, it is apparent today that Yasser Arafat and Gerry Adams do not have very secure control over actions by residents of Palestinian territory, in Arafat's case, or within the IRA, in Adams' case. |
