In conclusion, we renew to our volunteers, prisoners and supporters our resolve to continue the struggle for the realisation of the only thing that will bring ocmplete and lasting peace to the island of Ireland, a 32 county Socialist Republic.
Armed groups exist and the fun is still in Irish politics.
To the British, who bear the responsibility for bringing the gun into Irish politics, we say our position is clear. Yes, there is a need for the complete demilitarisation of Irish society. We want demilitarisation. But there can and will be no unilateral decommissioning by Republican Socialists. The common perception among many of our supporters and members is that republicans have all but conceded defeat and that there are no long term gains from this peace.
