Current Host: Chris2

Current Topic: An IRA statement which led to the postponement of the Stormont elections because it failed to include assurances that the IRA would cease all paramilitary activity has now been published. Does the statement go far enough? Should elections be reinstated? What do you think?

Host_Chris2: would you describe the statement as groundbreaking?

Bronco: wot did it say

Host_Chris2: it says, in part, "the full and irreversible implementation of the Agreement and other commitments will provide a context in which the IRA can proceed to definitively set aside arms to further our political objectives."

Bronco: wot does it mean

LadeezMan: no thats Wayne Sleep

Host_Chris: it depends on how you use them in a poem
