British must commit to peaceful and democratic activity

By Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams MP (for the Irish Times)

Over recent days the news has been dominated by the revelation that Denis Donaldson was a British agent working within Sinn Féin for as long as twenty years. When we stand back from the sensationalism, there are profoundly important issues to be addressed. And if we reduce all of this to its core, the stark reality is that a small number of faceless and unaccountable British securocrats have been allowed to collapse the democratic institutions established under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement and supported by the people of Ireland in referendum.
