The Five Demands

I repubblicani hanno fornito privatamente garanzie al Primo Ministro Peter Robinson sul fatto che l’IRA Army Council sia definitivamente uscito di scena.
Peter Robinson vorrebbe ora che tale annuncio venisse ripetuto in pubblico “E ‘importante che coloro che si trovano nella guida del movimento repubblicano rendano molto chiaro al pubblico, come hanno fatto con noi in privato, che l’IRA ha cessato per sempre la sua attività e che non sta per tornare.” 
Il DUP e Sinn Féin ha raggiunto, martedì, un accordo per sbloccare la situazione di stallo creatasi circa 5 mesi fa a Stormont.

IRA council ‘has gone away’ – DUP
Republicans have given private assurances to DUP First Minister Peter Robinson that the IRA army council has permanently gone out of business. Traditional Unionist MEP Jim Allister accused his former party of dropping its pledge that policing and justice would not be devolved while it exists. Mr Robinson told the BBC he wanted republicans to repeat in public what they had told him in private. The DUP and Sinn Féin reached a deal on Tuesday to break the Stormont deadlock. “Right at the heart of building confidence within the community will be people’s perception of those who are in the assembly,” said Mr Robinson. “It’s important that those who are in the leadership of the republican movement make it very clear publicly, as they have done to us privately, that the IRA is out of business for good and is not going to return.”
