Yesterday's game

The IRA should be disbanded pronto because, in the new Republican world, it serves no purpose. Republicans say they've turned away from violence for good, and retaining the IRA structures and potential capability is nothing but a large flappy albatros around Sinn Féin's neck as it enters government.

In short, put it in the museum. My Big challenge to the SF leadership: start by disbanding the Army Council before 8th May. It'd be a big reconciliation move at no cost to your cause and it makes perfect sense. May the UVF, LVF, UDA, INLA, CIRA, RIRA and all the other private armies then do likewise.
