Sinn Fein have condemned recent attacks on police recruits. Whilst not encouraging anyone to join the PSNI, Gerry Kelly told the Newlsletter that: I am making it directly clear now that there should be no intimidation or threats against new recruits.
He went on:
People should not participate in a police force which falls short of the acceptable civic policing service which we all desire.”
And then:
“Joining or not joining the PSNI is a matter for the individual concerned.”
Update: Ahern says no re-negotiation on the Agreement.

You will need to know about the comments policy to stay off the fightin’ side of me and there is a bit of background about me here.
