Ceasefire watchdogs meet amid 'IRA kidnapping' storm

A four-member commission set up to monitor paramilitary ceasefires in Northern Ireland was meeting in Dublin today amid allegations of Provisional IRA activity.

The Independent Monitoring Commission, set up last year by the British and Irish governments to also examine the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, has been criticised by Sinn Féin in recent months for being set up outside the terms of the 1998 accord.
