I propose to take Questions Nos. 1134 and 1136 together.

Pursuant to section 18 of the Offences against the State Act 1939 and the Unlawful Organisation (Suppression) Order 1939, the Irish Republican Army — also the IRA and Óglaigh na hÉireann — remains an unlawful organisation which I am satisfied continues to exist and should continue to be proscribed.
