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.

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

British rule depends upon repression and collaboration and the Irish people should recognise that those who collaborate with Britain in exchange for a slice of the cake will implement British policy and remain silent when Irish people are murdered and oppressed. It is they who are responsible for prolonging the war in Ireland. Without the quislings, without the collaborators, we would already have reached freedom.

I haven't done anything that I'm ashamed of.

The reality is that the people that we represent are no longer going to be second-class citizens in their own country.

Well I think it has always been a mistake to reduce the peace process in Ireland to a decommissioning process.

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.
