Crunch time for reviewAs the Mitchell Review enters what must surely be its final phase, time is fast running for any agreement to be reached. Throughout, the consistent raising of unrealisable preconditions by the Ulster Unionist Party has stymied progress, according to the Sinn Féin negotiators. In its demand for IRA disarmament prior to the establishment of an Executive for the Six Counties, the UUP stands in breach of the letter and spirit of the Good Friday Agreement. Should the impasse remain and the review fail, the onus will swiftly move onto the two governments, particularly the British government, to take decisive action to secure the implementation of the Agreement and the formation of the institutions agreed on Good Friday and approved by the overwhelming majority of the people of this island. This is indeed a crucial and worrying period for the Irish peace process.
