Why the IRA can never deliver peace As Ulster prepares for the reimposition of direct rule
2000
Overview
Gerry Adams, MP for West Belfast, was presumably going about his business just as we were; he visiting constituents on the Lenadoon estate nondescript except where murals commemorating violence blaze with colour while we, 30 foot soldiers, fanned out around two RUC men so they could walkthrough the estate without being murdered. It was an outwardly civil encounter. The policemen spoke to Mr Adams. I did not, though perhaps I should have asked after his brother Paddy, then the IRA's operational commander in Belfast. 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.
