Sinn Fein MLA, Gerry Kelly suggests there is a lack of balance to recent calls from various unionist and British government sources for the disarmament of the IRA:
“This is why we get the briefings, the anonymous sources, the planted articles. This is why we get the singular focus on the IRA at a time when the loyalists are killing people. This is why a senior loyalist PUP politician recently stated that the issue of loyalist decommissioning has never even been raised with him by the British government.”
