Proceeding contribution from Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 31 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill.
Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill
: This is a very important issue. Surely the hon. Gentleman is not taking a softer line than the Minister for Justice in the Irish Republic, who is on record as saying that the IRA should and must disband. Indeed, the former leader of the SDLP has also said that it must do so. Surely the hon. Gentleman does not suggest that Sinn Fein could be in government and still allied to an organisation that is illegal under the law but has not disbanded or dismantled.
