Well obviously the big news of the day (ok, i’m half an hour late, it’s Friday here) is the IRA statement. It’s been covered everywhere BBC, RTÉ, the Guardian and a dozen others. You’ll get some good analysis and commentary from the blogs: Slugger, Balrog, United Irelander, Most Sincerely Folks … that’ll get you started at least. Oh and Twenty has the “statement” in full.
I have to say the statement wasn’t what I expected. It’s a big leap forward in my opinion. Two questions though; 1. Will the IRA finally follow through with their promises? 2. What excuse will Paisley come up with now to avoid talking to Sinn Féin? Let’s wait and see.
