If the British government is prepared to say that the Unionists will not have a veto over British government policy and that guns, vetoes and injustices will all be left outside the door, then there is no good reason why talks cannot take place in an appropriate atmosphere.

The most important thing to say is that Sinn Fein isn't going back to anything. We are a party on the move.

The British government says that for Sinn Fein to be involved in talks the guns must be left at the door.

Let everyone leave all the guns - British guns and Irish guns - outside the door.

Sinn Fein is the fastest growing party on the island of Ireland.

Freedom can be gained only at the point of an IRA rifle, and I apologize to no one for saying that we support the freedom fighters of the IRA.

Along with that ongoing process Sinn Fein took a decision to establish a peace commission which had the responsibility to travel around the country to receive submissions from the general public, also our opponents.
