@irishinside: When Gerry Adams said the phrase in 1995, the peace process was at a fragile stage. The IRA had declared a ceasefire the previous year, and there was widespread hope that paramilitary violence might finally be ending. Adams’ remark was widely interpreted as a reminder, or even a warning, that the IRA still existed, still held weapons, and still had influence. According to reporting, the comment came at a time when the IRA was refusing to agree to decommission its weapons, which heightened public tension. #IrishHistory #ireland #gerryadams #thetroubles #irishpolitics
