At this stage in time I don't see disbandment yet. We also have a responsibility to certain people, potential prisoners and to the family of the volunteer who was killed. The organisation admits however that the greatest danger it now faces, in common with the Provisional IRA, is disintegration. For volunteer armies ceasefires are debilitating. They need to be constantly training, meeting and giving people things to do.
Activity keeps things together.
The Provos have effectively a four year ceasefire in place and they face a very serious problem in that regard. I can't see us lasting four years on a ceasefire. As an organisation we're in a very reflective mood at the moment. We have shot ourselves in the foot, we've put a big bandage on and we'll now see whether it heals. There are different irons in the fire in respect to the Agreement and a lot of pitfalls for this process.
