IRA condemns establishment offensive against republicanism

ELEMENTS of the British and Irish establishments are on an offensive to defeat republicanism, the IRA has claimed.

The terror group added there was a concerted campaign to demonise Sinn Féin for electoral reasons.

“Leading this are Irish politicians who stood idly by while Irish citizens, North and South, were being terrorised by the RUC, the British Army and their surrogates in the unionist death squads,” it said.
