Northern Ireland Bill

I served in Northern Ireland and was aware of the progress made in bringing the IRA to the table and making it realise that putting down its arms and talking about issues was the way forward. My concern then as now, as expressed by other parties, is that the nasty work is being outsourced to other splinter organisations, which is undermining everything that we are trying to achieve. What is the IRA doing to stop those splinter groups carrying out their activities? As long as they carry out such activities, everything that this House and everyone in Northern Ireland is trying to achieve is undermined.
