Description:
The rise of Sinn Fein, will it be poised to be in the government in the Republic of Ireland after the next election. Comments from D.O'Malley, Pat Ribbite, F.O'Tode and the Minister for Justice, O'Donoghue. Sinn Fein now has four MPs, and two Ministers in the Northern Executive, without discarding the IRA, this programme asks will it be able to do the same in the Republic. ( ... ENTRY TO BE COMPLETED)

From the BBC Web site: "After greatly increasing its vote in the general and council elections, Sinn Fein is now the largest nationalist party in Northern Ireland. It has the potential to become the first all-Ireland party with real political power since the Act of Union. It entered government in Northern Ireland without shedding its paramilitary links. So-called punishment beatings are carried out by terrorist groups from both communities but a 40% increase in republican attacks has apparently not affected Sinn Fein's vote. Reporter Mandy McAuley examines Sinn Fein's growing power and how that sits alongside this rising level of violence and intimidation."

After the introduction, Chris McKeon (Reporter) reports from Belfast beginning with update reaction last week to the IRA engaging with DeChastelein from Adam, Trimble and J. Reid. She analyses the move downwards from that moment and the IRA view that decommissioning issues is for DeChastelein not Unionists or British ultimatums. Danny Morrison explains this view, they can' t be see to bow to Unionist pressure. Unionist, Reg Empey believes the IRA is holding out for further concessions and this is a stunt to that end. He expains this view. The arrests in Columbia are then profiled, Alan Murray (Security Journalist) gives his views on the IRA's involvement with FARC rebels and why they went there, then Danny Morrison denies it was IRA venture to import arms. With six weeks left to save the peace proces, reporter says nobody in Northern Ireland is optimistic but the Government is pressing ahead with normalization and policing issues, John Reid comments.

He mentions Colombian police saying men had traces of explosives and drugs on them, the drugs issue is discussed. Then in an interview, from Derry, M. McLauglhin (SF) answers questions, gingerly and abruptly about the three arrested men, especially James Monaghan role in Sinn Fein and Martin McAuley's role within Sinn Fein, he' s asked was Gerry Adams going to Columbia, M. McLauglin criticises the Columbian stance on this case, he's then asked about the IRA's withdrawal from decommissioning meetings and gives the Sinn Fein picture of how things look to them at present i.e. the British value D. Trimble above all the rest of the parties to get IRA back on board. McLaughlin says they must see the British Government defend and introduce the institutions of the Good Friday Agreement and deliver on policing, demilitarization and criminal justice. On Colombia, McLauglhin says these three are innocent until proved guilty and this has no implications for the Irish peace process. He refuses to accept they were up to any kind of illegal activity in Columbia and refuses to join in the unfounded speculation.

From the BBC Web Site: "The devastating terror attack on the World Trade Center on 11 September forms the background to this first programme in the new series of Spotlight. Reporter Kevin Magee went to New York to hear from Irish Americans caught up in the atrocity; people who were working in the twin towers and managed to escape with their lives and others who, as members of the emergency services, came to their rescue. One of the people who told of their experiences was Myles Donnelly from Enniskillen. On the morning of the suicide attacks he was at his desk on the 78th floor of the South Tower, the second one to be hit by a hijacked airliner. His experience of the violence in Northern Ireland taught him to get out quickly. Several of his closest colleagues who did not do likewise did not survive."

Adam's speech announcing he has recommended IRA decommissioning, comes after weeks of political activity. Film report begins with Martina Purdy (Political Editor) coverage of Adam's, Conway Mill speech, decommissioning move could save the peace process he told the IRA. Earlier John Reid (Northern Ireland Secretary) had told Society of Editors, Government would give generous response to IRA act of decommissioning. Coverage of his remarks, but in the Assembly today the DUP called for the end of the 'Republican Executive' and they walked out in protest. Adam's met other party leaders and John Reid earlier in the day when he admitted Niall Connolly in Colombia was a Sinn Fein official. At Stomont, I. Paisley said he didn't trust the DeChastelein Commission even if he swore on a bible, M. Durkan (SDLP) welcomed Adams comments. In the next report, Brian Rowan (Chief Security Correspondent) reports live from West Belfast on what's the IRA response to Adam's call likely to be, then comes film report from New York where M. McGuiness addressed their supporters there. Back in the studio, M. McGimpsey (UUP) says if it's action on decommissioning, the UUP welcomes that, he awaits the DeChastelein report and says the DUP will never be satisfied, he says the UUP will go back into Government if decommissioning happens. The next report previews the next journey to this point, it begins with film clip of Bloody Friday's Oxford Street bomb and the IRA's option then of a long war, the Libyan arms shipment's are profiled, then the Armalite and Ballot box strategy begins after the Hunger Strike, but as killing continued the British Government did talk to Republicans, then came the 1994 Downing Street declaration breakthrough, followed by the 1994 ceasefires, broken by Docklands bombing, when Tony Blair came to power and B. Ahern in Dublin. They got ceasefire renewed leading to Good Friday Agreement, where General DeChastelein was in the wings to deal with decommissioning but not a bullet. Not an ounce was the Republican stance, the RIRA bombed Omagh, Unionists wanted decommissioning, but Trimble did take a chance, 'We've jumped, you follow' comment. But devolution has been troubled by suspension, IRA used weapons inspectors idea, but no decommissioning. Unionists still want a weapons handover and here things are stuck. Clip from earlier Adam's speech on issue. Then live from Falls Road, G. Adam's answered questions on his speech today, it's not yet a certainty he says, but he says the IRA will respond and that must be met with generousity by British and Unionists. He calls on John Reid not to suspend Stormont as these suspensions delay decommissioning to the DeChastelein Commission.

Next report deals with the Loyalist attack on Newington area where an eleven year old and an eight year old where injured in a pipe bomb attack. Film report hears Nadine Quigley's (11) comments.
