Terrorism: Northern Ireland
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, with reference to the report entitled Paramilitary Groups in Northern Ireland, published on 19 October 2015, what recent assessment his Department has made of whether that report's assessment of links between the Provisional IRA and Sinn Fein is still accurate.
- Answer
-
The ‘Paramilitary Groups in Northern Ireland’ report was published in 2015 by the UK Government in order to provide a factual assessment from the UK security agencies and the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) on the structure, role and purpose of paramilitary organisations in Northern Ireland.
The PSNI and security partners continue to work to keep people safe. The IRA, including the Provisional IRA, remains a proscribed organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000.
