Tainiste Mary Harney, has entered the fray over the current breakdown with an impassioned plea in a speech to her party’s conference in Galway.
We are tired of the myth of Sinn Fein and the IRA being separate. We know the provisional republican movement is one. All of us are tired of reading between the lines. We want the truth. We want clarity. We want results. Is the war over? Will guns and Semtex be put beyond use? Will Sinn Fein engage in politics without a private army?
Meanwhile talks continue by phone between Blair in London and Ahern in Dublin.
