IRA decommissioning

Asked to comment on the Sunday Independent's report that the IRA was still holding on three hundred protection weapons, the PMOS pointed out what the Head of the Decommissioning Body said last week which was that he believed that all IRA weapons had been decommissioned. That was supported by the two independent witnesses. The PMOS said that was the body that had dealt with decommissioning and that was their report. In terms of the story, the PMOS noticed that it had been based on anonymous sources. The PMOS reiterated that the Decommissioning Body had said that all IRA weapons had been decommissioning in the full glare of publicity.
