Johnny Adair peace talks

Top Ulster Freedom Fighters commander, Johnny Adair, speaking to the Press Association in Belfast. Northern Ireland's most feared loyalist paramilitary leader insisted the peace process had come too far to fail now. * Mr Adair, now a staunch supporter of the Good Friday Agreement, told PA News: "We can't afford to turn back. We knew we'd have ups and downs along the way but I believe we'll get there. There has been so much hate and bitterness in the past 30 years I don't think people on both sides can stomach any more." 22/8/2000: Adair, who walked free from Northern Ireland's top security Maze Prison, following his early release under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement, was arrested and sent to Maghaberry Prison after Ulster Secretary of State Peter Mandelson suspended his license. 03/01/01: Sir Ronnie Flanagan is on standby to back government opposition to the release of jailed Ulster loyalist paramilitary chief Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair. The Royal Ulster Constabulary confirmed its Chief Constable may be called as a key witness at a private hearing which got under way at Maghaberry prison, near Lisburn, Co.Antrim. Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Mandelson and security chiefs fear dangerous new tensions on the streets of Belfast if Adair, the feared Ulster Freedom Fighters leader, is allowed to go free again. 04/01/01: Closing submissions are expected, as the Government prepares to intensify its challenge to the release of jailed loyalist paramilitary boss Johnny Mad Dog Adair. A legal team representing Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Mandelson has already been backed by the Chief Constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, Sir Ronnie Flanagan. 8/1/2001: A decision on his bid to be freed is expected to be made. The Northern Ireland Sentence Review Commission is considering arguments from the government and security chiefs who want to keep the Ulster Freedom Fighters' commander behind bars. But Adair's close associate, Ulster Democratic Party chairman John
