'What If'? Wednesday - IRA Snub
What if the IRA snub Gerry Adams and his "call" for them to give up their armed struggle?
Ultimately, nothing will happen. Those nationalists who put a tick beside Sinn Fein during the elections have safeguarded the existence of the organisation responsible for the murder of countless innocent civilians and have protected an organisation which is up to its knees in criminality and which has links with criminal gangs on the British mainland. If the SDLP had been endorsed instead, the IRA would have been forced to take significant steps. Sadly, this won't happen now.
IRA Army Council member Gerry Adams must be delighted.
