Taoiseach Bertie Ahern met the four members of the IMC in Dublin yesterday at their request. He was told that the body had already started its inquiry process into “recent matters” in the North and would complete its report by Friday.

The Taoiseach also dismissed a report carried in the Sunday Independent that the IRA was preparing to return to war.
