"This is an attack on the peace process. It is wrong and it is counter productive and I would extend my condolences to the dead mans family at this time.
"As with what happened in Antrim over the weekend we condemn it. Whoever carried out this shooting was not doing so to advance Irish republican or democratic goals. They have no strategy to deliver a United Ireland.
"This is a time for strong political leadership and cool heads. It is a time for all political parties and the two governments to recommit to the principles which have underpinned the peace process and delivered the stability of recent years."

Has anyone else detected an element of foul play in these killings? For 23 years the CIRA failed to land a single hit, for 12 years the Cokes could not hit the arse of a cow with a banjo, never mind score one against the Brits. Then we have the talk of British special forces being brought into the 6 co's to counter the 'dissident threat'? Bringing special forces back to counter a nonexistent threat is a weird development. 72 hours later and what do you know the Cokes discover how to use their guns after 12 years and the CIRA come out of semi-retirement after 23 years. Seems the Brits have their agents very well placed in these micro-groups indeed!
