Adams won’t serve up IRA until Unionists bring guarantees to table

AT first glance, what Gerry Adams had to say this week seemed to be of major import.

Referring to ‘political unionists’ using the IRA and the issue of IRA weapons as an excuse to thwart progress, he said: “Republicans need to be prepared to grasp that nettle and remove that excuse so that the entire process can move forward.”

Wasn’t removing the excuse saying the IRA was calling it a day and destroying its weapons?
