Alec Reid Quotations

The key issue now is to get a police force that everyone accepts,

history will prove that this is the end of the IRA.

The reality is that the nationalist community in Northern Ireland were treated almost like animals by the unionist community. They were not treated like human beings. It was like the Nazis treatment of the Jews.

I would lay my life on the line that the IRA has acted in good faith, and has fully disarmed,

I am absolutely certain, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that all the arms of the I.R.A. have been decommissioned. I know them well enough to know that they don't play games.
