Adams joins the list of leaders who use partition for their own ends

THE Minister for Justice, Michael McDowell, has suggested that gardaí should serve in the North as a means of showing up the IRA.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and An Garda Siochána have already signed an agreement on exchanges and cross-border training, but the garda sergeants and inspectors have refused to participate because of security and pay concerns.

“The full operation of cross-border exchanges immeasurably strengthened the rule of law on this island and robs those who are subversive of that rule of law, particularly the Provisional IRA and dissidents, of credibility in their own communities,” McDowell said. He has already done the country a real service in helping to expose IRA criminality. Like the IRA, the criminals do not recognise any border; they just exploit it.
