IRA : The War Is Over

THE DEPUTY FIRST Minister of Northern Ireland Martin McGuinness has offered to hold talks with dissident republicans during a speech at the Sinn Féin Ard Fheis in Killarney today.

McGuinness, the party’s presidential candidate in last year’s election, said that “the war is over” and that his party was in the process of building a “new Republic” that dissidents can be part of.

Speaking to delegates in Kerry this morning, he addressed the dissidents directly.

“Today I want to send a message directly to them, I am offering them an opportunity to meet and talk, come and tell us what you hope to gain by deluding yourselves and the gullible that your actions will succeed in what is certainly a pathetic and futile attempt to turn back the clock,” he said.

McGuinness said that recent attacks by dissidents on “vulnerable young people” needed to stop and insisted that he did not want to return the North to the violence and troubles of the past.

“The war is over and we are in the process of building a new Republic and you can still be part of that,” he said to the dissident republicans. ”There is plenty of room within the political process for voices who oppose the Sinn Féin strategy.

I was part of the conflict, I was there during the difficult and tragic times we had in the past and let me tell you there was nothing romantic about the war, it was hard, it was painful and it was traumatic and I never ever want the children of Ireland who live today in peace to be subjected to the conflict, pain and hurt that we lived through.

“I never want to be attend another funeral of a Police Officer or any other member our society who lost their lives due to violence, so I appeal to you for dialogue but I also say to you that the process of building a new future will continue with or without you, it is your call.”
