"All units have been ordered to dump arms," said an IRA statement, which said the move was effective 1500 GMT on Thursday. (Full story)
"All volunteers have been instructed to assist the development of purely political and democratic programs through exclusively peaceful means. Volunteers must not engage in any other activities whatsoever."
But the leader of the hard-line The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), 78-year-old preacher Ian Paisley, all but dismissed the IRA's statement.
"Do they think that the people of Northern Ireland are fools?" the firebrand Paisley said, noting that unionists are particularly incensed that convicted IRA bomber Sean Kelly was let out of prison Wednesday, apparently a precursor to the statement.
I don't like this protestant ex-preacherman. He let's me think too much of the Apartheid in South Africa, the Orangist's, the protestant Dutch. It's the way they think like make money, but don't spend it. It's the old merchant-mentality which made Holland known all over the world.
In fact it's my mentality and I don't like it too much.
The catholic mentality is sometimes better. That gives the freedom to enjoy life.
On the other hand that believe relies too much on a God.
Cycling is a catholic sport. In Spain, France and Italy the riders cycle as if it's an art even a religion. The riders in Northern (protestant) Europe see it more like work, a profession. Who works hard will benefit from it. Who will not won't and doom will be upon you.
If I speak about curses and so on, how long will Ariel Sharon stay alive?
Rabin only lived 31 days after his malediction. Will Sharon survive the curse of infantile orthodox men?
Marten Toonder was certainly not a orthodox Dutchman. He was the grand monsieur of the Dutch cartoons. He died in his sleep yesterday on an age of 93 years.
He brought to us a new style of language, new words and inspiration to use new words. His cartoon was really his life. He died as a man of good standing.
