Mr. Gerry Adams said recently that the issue of armed groups needs to be dealt with and that this includes the IRA. While no single issue can resolve the current impasse, there is no doubt that this is a key to overcoming the problem created by the lack of confidence and trust. I believe that Mr. Gerry Adams and Mr. Martin McGuinness are determined to work towards resolving outstanding issues and committed to the democratic path as the only way to achieve political objectives.
