in the 1980s corbyn took a keen interest in the conflict in northern ireland. he wanted to develop dialogue with the irish republican party sinn féin and so, when gerry adams became the first sinn fein mp in 1983, corbyn met with adams at westminster along with a number of other labour mps. in 1984, corbyn and ken livingstone invited adams, two convicted ira volunteers and other members of sinn féin to westminster. the meeting took place three weeks after the brighton hotel bombing, an attack on the conservative party leadership carried out by the ira that killed five people. he became known during the 1980s for his work on behalf of the guildford four and birmingham six, who were eventually found to have been wrongly convicted of responsibility for fatal ira bombings in england in the mid-70s. in the run up to the 2017 general election, corbyn said that he had "never met the ira", although shadow home secretary diane abbott later clarified that although he had met members of the ira, "he met with them in their capacity as activists in sinn fein".
