Description

The Redemptorist priest Fr Alex Reid wrote an article in The Irish Times entitled 'Priest feels Church must provide talks channel for IRA'. He outlined his belief that the 'the Republican movement could be persuaded to end its strategy of armed force in favour of a strategy of political force', and that the 'tragic and violent dimensions of what is essentially a political conflict could be ended, as far as the nationalist side of it is concerned, within any given six-month period, provided it were handled properly'.
