Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

This article from Liam Clarke for The Sunday Times expresses that Sinn Féin is facing internal dissent due to its commitment to peace talks, causing significant resignations, including the PIRA's quartermaster general. According to the author, the dissenters are unhappy with the leadership of Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness, accusing them of betraying PIRA principles by agreeing to non-violence. This conflict has highlighted a deep split within the movement, with some members advocating for a return to violence. The Sinn Féin leadership is now working to manage these defections and maintain progress in the peace process. The article's full title is : Sinn Féin's softly-softly approach to the peace talks has led to a mutiny in the ranks. It will take all the persuasive powers of Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness to keep the process on track. Liam Clarke reports.
