Drumcree policing and the Provisional IRA

That this House expresses grave concern at references to the 'feelings of PIRA (Provisional IRA)' in a police log concerning Drumcree; condemns the Provisional IRA’s campaign of murder and terror; remembers all those killed or injured during the Troubles and the suffering of their families; rejects any terrorist veto over lawful, peaceful activity; calls on the Chief Constable to explain the reference and its influence on policing decisions; further calls on the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to commission and publish a new assessment of the Provisional IRA’s continued existence, structures and activities, specifically examining its links to political parties and any influence or control over their decision-making; also calls on the Government to address the implications for the commitments underpinning power sharing; and insists that policing must uphold the rule of law without fear or favour, rather than reward intimidation.
