This document is a letter addressed to John Hume, reflecting on the progress and challenges in the peace process involving Sinn Féin and the PIRA. The author expresses concerns about the PIRA's actions and future plans, which seem incompatible with Sinn Féin's assurances of a permanent cease-fire. The author emphasizes the importance of continuing the peace process for the people of Northern Ireland and outlines the government's firm position, which adheres to existing policy and legal obligations. The letter concludes by stressing the need for Sinn Féin to provide a clear and credible guarantee of an PIRA cease-fire, warning that further violence will undermine Sinn Féin's credibility and exclude them from the negotiations. [The letter is not signed, and the sender and recipient have been inferred based on the content of the letter.]
