‘Republicans have moved on arms’ - Sinn Fein

The British and Irish Governments must match republican efforts to enhance the Good Friday Agreement by delivering more on police reform, demilitarisation, justice and equality issues, Sinn Fein claimed tonight.

As officials in London and Dublin worked on measures to secure stable government for Northern Ireland, Sinn Fein national chairman Mitchel McLaughlin insisted republicans had moved on the weapons issue despite claims from rival nationalists and unionists there had been no shift.
