It seems fair to assume Mr Adams still has some useful connections with the IRA, not all of them by virtue of kinship. That widely-held assumption helps explain the brittle mood among those in government who believed the Northern Irish problem had been 'solved' by the Good Friday Agreement. As far as they were concerned, the men who mattered, Adams and Martin McGuinness, had helped to secure the Agreement, ergo they could ensure decommissioning followed. Northern Ireland's new Jerusalem had arrived.
