APPALLED BY COLLINS' VIEW
Appalled by Collins' view
I AM appalled by the recent article in the Belfast Telegraph written by Eamon Collins a former IRA terrorist.
What he is saying is, that the IRA is still a gun-laden organisation which will assassinate anyone who would try to de-rail their peace strategy or upset their political plans, what's new about that?
Maybe what's new about that in the politics of Northern Ireland is that alongside the Government's renewed and revitalised anti-terrorist measures, in the wake of Omagh's trauma, is its determination to give Sinn Fein/ IRA a place in the Government of Northern Ireland within the Assembly and at the same time release unrepentant terrorists onto the streets.
Mr Collins's article only confirms the fears felt by many in our community at this time.
