IRA disarmament report handed over to govts

Details of the IRA’s final act of disarmament are being studied by the Irish and British governments today.

A new report by General John de Chastelain was handed over to officials of both governments in Belfast a short time ago.

Details will be announced in the city later this afternoon (about 2pm) when the IRA is also expected to make an announcement.

Gen. de Chastelain, head of the international decommissioning commission, and two churchmen witnessed the disarmament process by the IRA and they too will confirm the scale and size of the weapons arsenal which has been put beyond use.
