IRA will not bow to arms ultimatums

An IRA spokesman has said that the IRA will not decommission as a result of ultimatums from the British Government or Unionists.

In a statement this afternoon, Republican sources said the IRA poses no threat to the peace process and remains committed to it.

The senior IRA source was adamant that that organisation was not a threat to the peace process.

The source also claimed they honoured all commitments given in public, including a series of meetings with the International Decommissioning Commission and three inspections of IRA arms dumps.

The IRA say the issue of arms will not be resolved by the issuing of ultimatums or on British terms.

The IRA accuse the Government of reneging on two aspects of the Agreement, policing and demilitarisation.
