IRA publishes Easter message
The IRA has released its Easter message and said there can be no prospect of further movement in the peace process until the British and Irish governments honour their commitments under the Good Friday Agreement.
The message will be printed in tomorrow's An Phoblacht.
The IRA has said that it is almost ten years since its ceasefire, but the British government and unionists were still fixated on achieving its surrender.
The old conservative agenda, it said, had re-emerged with some Irish politicians trying to criminalise republicans.
The IRA did not name these politicians but said they were those who had stood idly by in the past while nationalists were murdered by the police and loyalists and who were now attacking republicans for selfish electoral reasons.
It accused the two governments of trying move the goalposts and said this had caused justifiable anger within its ranks.
"Only in instilling confidence in politics would the process be pushed forward," it said.
