Irishwoman at center of IRA tapes fight found dead

DUBLIN — An Irish Republican Army veteran who accused Sinn Fein party chief Gerry Adams of involvement in IRA killings and bombings was found dead in her home, police and politicians said Thursday.

Dolours Price, 61, was a member of the Provisional IRA unit that launched the very first car-bomb attacks on London in 1973. She became one of Irish republicanism’s most trenchant critics of Adams and his conversion to political compromise.
