Govt says IMC report confirms need for end to IRA activity

The Government has said the latest findings of the Independent Monitoring Commission confirm the need for a complete end to all IRA activity.

In a report published today, the body set up to monitor paramilitary ceasefires said the Provisional IRA was involved in December's £26.5m (€38m) bank heist in Belfast, as well as a number of other robberies in the past year.
