NO TALKS WITH THE IRA.



Gregory Campbell spells out the DUP bottom line that there will be no engagement with Sinn Fein until the IRA is gone. Since Sinn Fein and the IRA are one, this kinda puts the wraps on things GFA wise. The issue of whether a democratic political party should engage with another which retains a paramilitary one is cut and dried. The answer must be no - unless the boundary between the two blurs. Years of the GFA have encouraged people to think that it is "normal" to have politicians backed up by gunmen and bombers. It is not.
