Republicans ‘face tough choices’

SINN FÉIN and the IRA need to make hard choices and decisions if the peace process is to be rebuilt, Sinn Féin’s Dáil leader Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin conceded yesterday.

Republicans need to look beyond the current crisis in the peace process to return it to the path of progress, Mr Ó Caoláin said.

"Inevitably, that will mean more hard choices, including more hard decisions for the Irish and British governments and others, as well as for Sinn Féin and for the IRA," Mr Ó Caoláin added.
