Ahern: End spectre of violence that haunts us
All sides in the Irish peace process must seize the opportunity to finally shake off the spectre of violence, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said today.
After it emerged Mr Ahern has met Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams privately in recent weeks to discuss efforts to get the IRA to abandon paramilitarism and criminality for good, the Taoiseach said during a visit to a First World War memorial park in Belgium that all sides had big decisions to make.
