Gerry Adams, a prominent figure in Northern Ireland's political landscape, reiterated his denial of ever being a member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) during a testimony at London's High Court on Tuesday.

As Adams took the witness stand, he extended St Patrick's Day greetings to the judge and addressed accusations, reaffirming his statements that he had no involvement with the IRA or its Army Council.
