Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Andrew MacKay (Conservative). It was answered by Shaun Woodward (Labour) on Wednesday, 14 November 2007 on behalf of the Northern Ireland Office.


Paramilitary Groups

Question
What recent assessment he has made of the activities of dissident republican groups in Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

Hon. Members will be aware of the report published last week by the Independent Monitoring Commission that outlined the activities of all loyalist and republican groups, but I am sure they will want to join me in condemning the two attacks in the past week on two police officers, Paul Musgrave and Jim Doherty. Those cowardly attacks are in stark contrast to the professionalism and dedication of the PSNI.
