Don’t damage peace to score points on Sinn Féin

I am not a political supporter of Sinn Féin but I am a supporter of the peace process in Ireland. 

I fear that some political parties, north and south, are trying to achieve short-term political gain, at the expense of Sinn Fein, over the possible involvement of former or existing IRA or Sinn Féin members in recent murders. It would be irresponsible to damage the Irish peace process for such unjustified political reasons.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael would do well to remember the crimes and human rights abuses committed by their own paramilitary predecessors during the war of independence and the civil war, including the execution without trial of prisoners of war.
