Offences Against the State (Amendment) Act 1998: Motion.

 

I am concerned by reports I receive about the new recruiting ground that the Real IRA and the Continuity IRA have in some universities. We know of the case that appeared before the courts in London last April, where a group of young people were convicted on terrorist charges. It seems that there has been infiltration of some of our colleges by these fundamentalist organisations, that they are intent on derailing the peace process and that they have at their disposal a small dedicated new young corps of terrorists who are prepared to bring mayhem and destruction to this country and the neighbouring island. We also have to counter that.
