Proceeding contribution from Lord Bannside (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill.


Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill

Is it not a fact that Mr. De Valera had to do the same with his own people? Did not the first Prime Minister of the Irish Republic make a statement in which he said that there cannot be two police forces or two armies? He said that one police force—the police force of the state—was to be recognised, and that all others were to be rejected, and that if they were not rejected by the people, they, as the Government, would reject them and remove them.
