Suru-uutinen Irlannista: Provisional IRA on julkaissut lausunnon jossa se ilmoittaa luopuvansa kaikesta aseellisesta toiminnasta.
Taistelu vapaudesta jatkuu silti yhä: CIRA ja RIRA ovat ilmoittaneet etteivät koskaan julista aselepoa tai laske aseitaan ennenkuin heidän tavoitteensa 32 maakunnan yhtenäisestä Irlannista on toteutunut.
PIRA:n tämänpäiväinen lausunto kokonaisuudessaan:
"The leadership of Óglaigh na hÉireann has formally ordered an end to the armed campaign. This will take effect from 4pm this afternoon.
All IRA units have been ordered to dump arms.
All Volunteers have been instructed to assist the development of purely political and democratic programmes through exclusively peaceful means. Volunteers must not engage in any other activities whatsoever.
The IRA leadership has also authorised our representative to engage with the IICD to complete the process to verifiably put its arms beyond use in a way which will further enhance public confidence and to conclude this as quickly as possible. We have invited two independent witnesses, from the Protestant and Catholic churches, to testify to this.
The Army Council took these decisions following an unprecedented internal discussion and consultation process with IRA units and Volunteers.
We appreciate the honest and forthright way in which the consultation process was carried out and the depth and content of the submissions. We are proud of the comradely way in which this truly historic discussion was conducted.
The outcome of our consultations show very strong support among IRA Volunteers for the Sinn Féin peace strategy. There is also widespread concern about the failure of the two governments and the unionists to fully engage in the peace process. This has created real difficulties. The overwhelming majority of people in Ireland fully support this process. They and friends of Irish unity throughout the world want to see the full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.
Notwithstanding these difficulties our decisions have been taken to advance our republican and democratic objectives, including our goal of a united Ireland. We believe there is now an alternative way to achieve this and to end British rule in our country.
It is the responsibility of all Volunteers to show leadership, determination and courage. We are very mindful of the sacrifices of our patriot dead, those who went to jail, Volunteers, their families and the wider republican base. We reiterate our view that the armed struggle was entirely legitimate.
We are conscious that many people suffered in the conflict. There is a compelling imperative on all sides to build a just and lasting peace.
The issue of the defence of nationalist and republican communities has been raised with us. There is a responsibility on society to ensure that there is no re-occurrence of the pogroms of 1969 and the early 1970s. There is also a universal responsibility to tackle sectarianism in all its forms.
The IRA is fully committed to the goals of Irish unity and independence and to building the Republic outlined in the 1916 Proclamation.
We call for maximum unity and effort by Irish republicans everywhere. We are confident that by working together Irish republicans can achieve our objectives. Every Volunteer is aware of the import of the decisions we have taken and all Óglaigh are compelled to fully comply with these orders.
There is now an unprecedented opportunity to utilise the considerable energy and goodwill which there is for the peace process. This comprehensive series of unparalleled initiatives is our contribution to this and to the continued endeavours to bring about independence and unity for the people of Ireland."

laskemaan turhaan, sillä kait heilläkin jo entuudestaan jonkinlainen inventaariolista on olemassa aseista.
Määrällisesti PIRA on maailman parhaiten aseistettu puolisotilaallinen ryhmä.
että joku on tullut järkiinsä.
Tuossa on kun aseet lasketaan ?! Rauha se on joka ratkaisee.
Brittipoliisin kovia otteita ! "Kovat" IRA-jätkät pelkää tulevansa ammutuksi päähän tekosiaan yrittäessään !
I.R.A.:ta läskit bobbyt pelottaa,oli niillä liipasinsormi kuinka herkässä tahansa,yli 30 vuotta taistelua karaistaa.
ei olleet mitään läskejä fish&chips Bobbyja (Bobbyt eivät edelleenkään kanna asetta) vaan Scotland Yardin erikoisyksikkö (SO 19), joita ei veltoiksi läskeiksi voi kuvata. Huippuluokan terrorisminvastainen yksikkö. Amatööriterroristi IRA:laiset ei pärjää niille. IRA:lla paskat housuissa.
PIRA:n aseidenluovutuksesta ilmoitettiin jo viime vuoden puolella mutta projekti meni silloin jäihin. Eli kyse ei ole reaktiosta Lontoon tapahtumiin.
Koko P-Irlannin kriisin verisimmästä pommi-iskusta vastuussa on Real IRA eikä suinkaan nyt "antautuva" PIRA. Real IRA jatkaa taistelua yhdessä CIRA:n kanssa 'no justice, no peace'-periaatteella.
Vuoden 1919 Dail Éireann valtiopäivien valtuutus toimia Irlannin tasavallan (johon kuuluu myös P-Irlanti)laillisena armeijana kuuluu CIRA:lle.
Irlannin tasavalta ja Yhdistyneet kuningaskunnat ovat sotatilassa keskenään ? Tätä en tiennytkään. Kumpi sodan on julistanut ja mistä tuon virallisen sodanjulistuksen näiden kahden valtion välillä voi esimerkiksi netistä löytää ? Kumpi tekee ensin maihinnousun toisen maaperälle ja tuleeko USA väliin ennen sitä ? Kumman puolelle ? Ratkaiseeko asian USA:n vaikutusvaltainen IRA:lle terroritekoihin rahoja syytänyt irlantilaismafia ?
Irlannin tasavalta perustettiin 1919 Dail Éireann:ssa. Englanti kielsi perustetun valtion laillisuuden ja hyökkäsi Irlantiin. Eli kyllä sotatila on päällä ja Englanti aloitti sodan. Virallista sodanjulistusta engelsmannit eivät koskaan vaivautuneet tekemään, koska tiesivät hyökkäyksen ja yhä jatkuvan miehityksensä olevan laittomia.
Valitettavasti G.W. Bush on jo keskustellut Blairin kanssa aiheesta kuinka Irlannin tilanne saataisiin lopullisesti ratkaistua.
