A DUP demand for the humiliation of republicans is not only
unacceptable, it will not happen and it has no place in a process
of peace making.

Republican patience with how unionism deals with the political
institutions, and with key issues like equality and human rights,
will be tested because, obviously, there will be a battle a
day on these matters. So lets face up to all of this with our
eyes wide.

making.

Asked why IRA would not allow more transparency
in decommissioning of their weapons, October 2003. |
It's an open secret. I have said within republican circles
that one of the objectives of this process is to see an IRA
out of existence. When I say that we want to bring an end to
physical force republicanism, that clearly means bringing an
end to the organisation or the vehicle of physical force republicanism.
