Their commitment to the peace process is unequivocal. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully this an isolated action by a small minority dissident faction.<BR/><BR/>TomTom Brechneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015870855108454660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662128.post-24631288179318540612009-03-08T19:55:00.000+00:002009-03-08T19:55:00.000+00:00TomThanks for the comment - I was reassured earlie...Tom<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment - I was reassured earlier to see McGuiness on TV being completely unequivocal in his condemnation of these actions.<BR/><BR/>AndrewAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01684349200288599810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662128.post-66506467673620531102009-03-08T16:17:00.000+00:002009-03-08T16:17:00.000+00:00Abdrew,I agree with your sentiments wholeheartedly...Abdrew,<BR/>I agree with your sentiments wholeheartedly. I visit NI alot and have very close friends there and have an interest in the ongoing Irish situation. This episode is, as well as a tragedy for those involved, an unpleasant reminder of the Troubles. I also agree with you about the work of Major ( mostly ignored )and carried forward so well by Tony Blair. I would also say the leadership of the Republican movement, namely Adams and McGuiness have been crucial in the ending of the armed conflict. Lets hope these so called dissident Republicans have even less influence, than they do already and accept that the peace process is only way forward. <BR/><BR/>TomTom Brechneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015870855108454660noreply@blogger.com
