I am not talking about silly things like the IRA deciding not to exist – there are many ways of doing this – but in the short term it should explain or end the series of ambiguous activities that have included the shootings of a chip shop operator in south Armagh and a police officer in Derry and many others. We are entitled to this, but we are also entitled to considerable care in the language of unionism. Some of the remarks of the Ulster Unionist leader who, while he deserves great praise for many of the things he has done and his willingness to take political risks, seems to have a capacity to look down on other states – this one in particular – do nothing for his credibility. I do not take them seriously, but he will not win over opinion in this State towards understanding their difficulties by using such language.
