It refuses to co-operate properly with tribunals established in this State and wants loyalist flags taken down in Belfast while refusing to take down its flags in Armagh. It refuses to name members who have committed crimes North and South of the Border, take its seats in Westminster or engage substantively with the House of Commons or British Government. The motion, however, refers to working "with the British government and all parties in re-energising the peace and political processes". All I see in this motion is contradiction. It has been tabled to maintain Sinn Féin's credentials and to be seen to be doing something on the North.
