We have contributed in a real and meaningful way to the creation of a climate which would facilitate the search for a durable peace settlement. IRA guns are silent.
Oglaigh na hÉireann, Wednesday 31 March
Why is nobody bombing England for the years of oppression in Northern Ireland?
Russian protestor in Moscow after the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Sky News, Thursday 25 March.
The policy... is both mistaken and ill-conceived.
Former British Foreign Secretary Carrington on the NATO bombings.
Britain is a peaceful nation. We're a peaceful people who take no joy in war... we have to stand up and fight for peace.
Tony Blair after British crown forces took part in the bombing of Yugoslavia last week.
Obviously we can expect the rejectionist unionists to use all the procedural mechanisms available to them to delay an executive with Sinn Féin but all they do is delay the inevitable.
Mitchel McLaughlin. Irish News, Thursday 25 March.
It may not be possible for this position [British government leaving the RUC involved in Rosemary Nelson's murder investigation] to be maintained as international opinion expresses ever stronger views on the case.
Irish News Editorial last week.
I think it is fast becoming the Alabama of the North [Portadown], we have seen a siege of people of Garvaghy Road going back some years. We have seen the killing of Rosemary Nelson, we have seen a bomb attack just the other evening and now we have seen no one being brought to book for the killing of a citizen - that killing was carried out in the sight and in the presence of RUC officers.
Gerry Adams summing up most nationalist feelings after the Robert Hamill murder trial acquitals.
Sinn Féin is calling for a full, international and independent judicial investigation into both the murder of Robert Hamill and the RUC's handling of the incident and investigation.
Sinn Féin Assembly member for Upper Bann Dara O'Hagan on the verdicts.
If a section of the coloured community in Britain had suffered what we have in Portadown, Tony Blair would have intervened long ago.
Breandán Mac Cionnaith. Sunday Tribune, 28 March.
I am convinced that we are going to get a democratic peace settlement... But why not now? Why put it off. Why wait until another Rosemary Nelson is killed? Or another Orange Volunteers explosion takes place at a nationalist home? This is the time for moving forward, for seizing the moment and moving positively together and not letting people down.
Gerry Adams remarks directed at David Trimble. Irish News, Monday 29 March.
