SF takes political initiative
As part of their commitment to the Good Friday Agreement, Sinn
Féin has announced that Martin McGuinness MP will be the party's
representative to meet with the International Commission on
Decommissioning.
It has been made clear that Martin McGuinness will sit as a
representative of Sinn Féin and not as a go-between for any other
group.
The appointment, together with Gerry Adams's statement on
Tuesday, is seen as a Sinn Féin initiative to break the current
political impasse and to lead towards the formation of the
Executive and the All-Ireland bodies.
On Wednesday Gerry Adams said, ``Sinn Féin believes that the
wholehearted implementation of the Good Friday Agreement has the
capacity to transform the existing situation through constructive
and dynamic political development. Sinn Féin accordingly believe
that all participants to the Agreement must now act with renewed
commitment to the implementation of all aspects of it within the
timescale of the Agreement.''
