As a Church we have urged and continue to pray for the decommissioning of all paramilitary weaponry.
Consequently yesterday's statement from the IICD and the final act of decommissioning by the IRA is welcome and I acknowledge it as most helpful in the present situation.
I am also aware of the concerns in my community regarding credibility and consider that what happens in the next weeks is critical.
A positive report in the near future from the International Monitoring Commission would help further build confidence and be another step towards the return of devolved government.
