RSF have said that Mr. Ó Caoláin's alleged threat to collapse Stormont lacked any crediibility.
The Provos' Leinster House leader, Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin's threat to collapse the Six County 'Executive' at Stormont lacks any credibility, a spokesman for Republican Sinn Féin has said.
Director of Publicity, Richard Walsh, said: “Comments such as these are clearly part of the pathetic choreography surrounding the so-called 'policing and justice' saga. Members of Mr. Ó Caoláin's own party are disenchanted not only by the failure of their leaders to secure the devolution of such powers to Stormont, but also by their cosy relationship with the DUP.
“Accusations of DUP 'intransigence' are nothing more than a crude attempt to woo the Provisional base. After all, DUP and Provo objectives in terms of the National Question are now identical.
“The gifting of powers of British policing to Stormont by Westminster would offer nothing for the Irish people, and serves only to prolong the failed Stormont experiment.
“Those allied with the Provisionals should instead seek the immediate dismantling of the Stormont Assembly and give allegiance to the All-Ireland Republic rather than the British Crown.”

Jump To Comment: 1 2Sf will never leave Stormont! Where else would they go? They will just give up more concessions after huffing and puffing, after all, they painted themselves into a corner that they can never leave. Brillant leadership. And by the way OSF are just as radical, with the painting of postboxes green. Maybe one day many years from now they can write rebel songs about what they did for the cause, painting postboxes green.
Despite your apparant nay-saying, the true (By which I mean, the guys with fewest members and least power.) Republican Movement has never ceased in its fight to liberate the North from the massive overbearing military presence therin. Why, only this morning, I was accosted by three redcoats while going to the market to sell my pig to buy some seed potatoes. This madness clearly needs the precise and sound logical argument that the leaky semtex improvised RPG-launcher provides.
Let me at this point announce that the current Republican campaign, currently only observed in Border areas (But which, in accordance with Mao's teaching, can ONLY lead to ignominious retreat on the part of the imperialist forces. The 50's Border Campaign excluded.) will drive the Invader back into the sea, probably from the Larne to Stranraer route. Although it may appear that so-called 'dissident' republicans are targeting traditional republican areas, rather than areas held by those of the Unionist persuasion (Incidentally, I know this great psychiatrist...), and its only goal is to create an area within the state wherin there is no investment, jobs, community, social services, etcetcetc, let me assure those poor deluded fools that a poor, balkanised, destroyed north under the tricolour will be infinitely better than interrim stable governance until we decide what we actually want. Because the army council, with its traditional morbid invoking of dead and dying republicans says so.
