Morgan stands by IRA demilitarisation claim

WE will never see the full demilitarisation of the IRA, Sinn Féin deputy Arthur Morgan insisted yesterday.

The Louth TD said he would not retract the comment made during a heated debate of the British Irish Inter-Parliamentary Body earlier this week.

Former British MP Peter Temple-Morris had accused Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams of failing to deliver the IRA in the Northern peace process. Mr Morgan responded by telling the Labour peer it was not up to Sinn Féin or Gerry Adams to deliver the IRA.
