The tapes which contain interviews with former paramilitaries were not meant to be heard in public until after their deaths

Image: PA Image: PA A FORMER IRA member has been granted a Supreme Court hearing in a bid to stop police gaining access to interviews given as part of an oral history project known as the Boston College tapes.

In 2014, Sinn Féin accused those behind the project of compiling the tapes “maliciously”, claiming they were the basis for the arrest of then President Gerry Adams . He is arguing that the International Letter of Request setting out a list of alleged offences officers are investigating, issued by the PSNI in 2014, contains “a number of errors”.
