Presbyterian Moderator Dr Alastair Dunlop has issued the following statement in response to today's statements on IRA decommissioning:
"The commencement of decommissioning of weapons by the IRA is a major step in the right direction. I hope that all paramilitary groupings will now decommission, understanding that violence inhibits political progress and the retaining of illegal weapons has no place in a democratic society.
"This is an opportunity to move forward to a better future, to instill a necessary degree of confidence in the political process and to make progress in healing the divisions in this society. Everyone has the responsibility to engage in actions as well as words which can build trust.
"I pray that this action will be one further step towards a permanent peace and the lasting settlement for which we all long.
