The Real IRA recently issued a statement that its self-inflicted war was now at an end. Has the Government made its view known since that statement was made? It may be the case that the new surroundings in Portlaoise do not suit some people and they want to declare a unilateral ceasefire. I am suspicious of the statement issued by that organisation. I want to know from the Government that deals, covert or overt, will not be done to ensure these criminals are released from prison.
