Independent Monitoring Commission Report

The Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) told journalists that Peter Hain had published the latest and 10th Independent Monitoring Commission in Northern Ireland (IMC) report today. This was the most significant report on the IRA of the ten that the IMC had published so far. It said that the IRA was living up to its commitment made last July to stop recruitment, training, targeting, intelligence gathering, rioting or other violence, other criminality and illegal fundraising. It clarified it’s position from the last report on arms to accept that any arms that were retained were retained by people acting at a local level in defiance of the leadership and therefore not in anyway authorised. The amounts were not deemed significant in comparison to what had been decommissioned.
