On this island we have the Defence Forces. We have an Army, in which I am proud to have served. I am proud to have played my part in the face of so-called terrorists. However, we have walked on egg shells around these people for a number of years while they have continued a trade in terror, internally in this State and externally. How serious are they about democracy? There is no place for a dual track approach. I do not like to use the phrase "the armalite in one hand and the ballot box in the other", but it depicts the dual trade with which we have put up for far too long.
