IRA no longer security threat to United Kingdom
The Irish Republican Army is no longer a security threat to the United Kingdom, according to the Independent Monitoring Commission.
The Irish Republican Army is fading away in Northern Ireland and poses no security threat to the British territory, international experts concluded Wednesday in another landmark for peacemaking.
The governments of Britain and Ireland heralded the findings of the Independent Monitoring Commission at the effective death of the IRA, and they appealed to Protestant leaders to respond by deepening their cooperation with Catholics in the province’s 16-month-old partnership government. It has failed to meet for the past three months amid rising tensions and warnings that the coalition could unravel.
