The decision by the Provisional leadership to sit on Police Boards in the Six Counties while Loyalists issue death threats to republicans and nationalists has been condemned by a spokesman for Republican Sinn Fein.

Joe Lynch from Ballinacurra Weston in Limerick, the vice- chairman of the Munster RSF Executive said today that the Loyalist assassination threats against republicans who oppose the Stormont Agreement should be lifted.

The shameful decision of the Provisional leadership of Adams and McGuinness to agree to administer British rule with the DUP on the date of the Loughgall murders must be condemned.
