Kenny calls for loyalist paramilitaries to follow suit

OPPOSITION parties yesterday roundly welcomed confirmation of the IRA’s final decommissioning and called on loyalist paramilitary groups to follow suit.

Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny said completion of the IRA’s decommissioning had removed one of the key obstacles to political progress in the North and fulfilled the democratic wish of the Irish people.

He called for loyalist paramilitary organisations to match yesterday’s actions.
