§ Mrs. Iris RobinsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what assessment he has made of Provisional IRA activity along the roads of south Armagh; and what action he intends to take. [84458]
785W
§ Jane KennedyThe Government do not comment on intelligence assessments. The Secretary of State continues to make judgments on ceasefires, taking account of all the relevant factors, but it has been made plain that there must be an end to all paramilitary activity, including training, targeting and punishment attacks.
Until terrorism has been set aside in favour of totally democratic and peaceful means, Government will maintain an appropriate security response to protect all the people of Northern Ireland.
