Regarding decommissioning not being met by parallel moves, the first to decommission were the Unionist paramilitaries. They were the first to apologise and never got any credit for it, though, admittedly, it was far too little. What do we really know about decommissioning in Northern Ireland? For all I know they could have buried a box of paper clips because there is no quantification. We require and demand that the Unionist people sit in government with the Sinn Féin people who are clearly associated with the IRA while at the same time our own Prime Minister says he would not touch them with a barge pole.
