“Well-publicised, malicious allegations have been made against me. I reject these. While I have never disassociated myself from the IRA and I never will, I am innocent of any part in the abduction, killing or burial of Mrs McConville.”
“As a republican leader I have never shirked my responsibility to build peace. This includes dealing with the difficult issue of victims and their families.
