Unionists dismiss IRA arms move as PR stunt

Hardline unionists have dismissed the IRA’s latest act of decommissioning as "a stunt". Peter Robinson, deputy leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, said:

"This has been produced by Sinn Fein purely for electoral purposes and to squeeze further concessions from the [British] Government. It will not impress anybody from the unionist community, which is still waiting to find out whether it was one or two guns decommissioned the first time. It’s an event of no significance."
