Former Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams leaving the Royal Courts of Justice in London on Wednesday. The fresh-looking 71-year-old O’Doherty insisted he was not driven by a personal dislike of Adams, but insisted that the latter is suffering “from last-man-standing syndrome”.

There will be a few more difficult days to come in a case that will end next week after Adams gives evidence.
