        @BBCNews he cannot just walk away from the violence he wreaked and think he is respectable. He is finally being bought to justice

        @bbcnews is Sinn Fein's 'palpable anger' at the fact that their leader could be a murderer or at the fact that he has been caught...

        @BBCNews There is much anger on both sides. An investigation may conclude that Mr Adams is innocent. Why the fuss?

        @BBCNews Adams arrest has extremely sinister undertones to it spanning back to Thatcher days. The tories and police want bloody revenge.

        @BBCNews He will walk away from this but I suspect various leaders and others will not be so willing anymore to be seen in his company
