Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I conclude by welcoming the statement from the INLA that it has ended what it calls the armed struggle. However, I note it has not decommissioned its weapons and made no mention of that. As for remaining non-decommissioned weapons, the threat and risk remains because for as long as there are guns in the system, a risk exists. This option must be closed off definitively and absolutely and the INLA should decommission its weapons. While I welcome its statement, one must be on one's guard at all times regarding the risk posed by the remaining dissident republican groups.
