Blair to warn Adams over terror links
British Prime Minister Tony Blair will tell Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams today that republicans must sever all ties to criminal and paramilitary activity if they are to be involved in power-sharing in the North.
In their first meeting since the IRA was accused of carrying out last month’s £26.5m (€38m) Northern Bank raid, Mr Blair will insist at Chequers that unionists cannot be expected to go into government with Sinn Féin while the IRA remains active.
