Published: 11 October, 2009

Speaking in advance of an expected statement today by the INLA, Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams said:

"I welcome today's announcement by the INLA.

"Given the history of the INLA there will undoubtedly be some scepticism about today's statement.

"However, if it is followed by the actions that are necessary, this is a welcome development.

"I would appeal to all groups to follow the will of the Irish people. This means pursuing political objectives by purely peaceful and democratic methods."
