IRA delivers New Year warning

The Irish Republican Army (IRA) said yesterday it was “deeply concerned” about the way the peace process was currently being overseen by the British and Irish governments.

In its New Year statement, the IRA said London and Dublin had failed to respond adequately to the most recent act of arms decommissioning.

The republican paramilitary outfit said it wanted quid pro quo for the third major push to decommission weapons in October.

The IRA said: “After that the sequence was put on hold.

“Since then the two governments have not honoured their part of it.

“Consequently there has been no progress on a range of issues involved.

“The British Government carries the premier responsibility for that. It’s failure to deliver is of deep concern.”
