Gerry Adams has suggested ‘an imaginative gesture’ may be forthcoming from the IRA. It is conditional on the British and Irish governments ‘completing’ the full terms of Belfast Agreement, as Sinn Fein see it, though the Daily Telegraph is convinced that some of these moves are already signed off and in the pipeline.
For the Unionists part in all this, there is apparently not much they can do. David Trimble has told the Irish Independent’s London editor that Sinn Fein must show their hand before they can expect any reciprocal move from him; a strategy that is getting him a lot heat from his Unionist rivals.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
