Statement by Connor Murphy, then Sinn Féin MP for Newry and Armagh, on the publication of the Thirteenth Report of the Independent Monitoring Commission (IMC), (30 January 2007)

 

"The IMC operates entirely outside the terms of the Good Friday Agreement. It should have no role in the political process and it should be wound up. The IMC should never again be allowed a say over peoples democratic rights and entitlements.

Regardless of what this unelected and unrepresentative quango does or says Sinn Féin will continue with our positive agenda of attempting to ensure that the power sharing and All-Ireland institutions are put back in place by March 26th. That remains our firm focus."
