Irish Americans want end to IRA criminality - Attwood

Irish Americans are still focused on the demand that the IRA ends all its involvement in criminality and recognises the rule of law, a nationalist member of Northern Ireland’s Policing Board said today.

Belfast Assembly member Alex Attwood, who is in Washington DC for a series of meetings on Capitol Hill, said people in the US wanted to see progress in the wake of the IRA’s pledge to end its armed campaign and its move to complete disarmament.
