That's healthy and good for us that there are people who are prepared to question what we are doing.

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

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

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

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.

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.
