In a statement delivered on 10 October 1996, John Bruton, the Taoiseach of Ireland, condemned the recent PIRA bombing in Lisburn, emphasizing its detrimental impact on the fragile peace process in Northern Ireland. Bruton highlighted the significant progress made in the multi-party talks, despite the challenges posed by deep-seated divisions and the contentious issue of decommissioning. He underscored the importance of maintaining the Loyalist ceasefire and criticized the Republican movement for its continued use of violence alongside political engagement. Bruton reaffirmed the Irish Government's commitment to a peaceful resolution based on the principles of consent and democratic agreement, stressing that any lasting settlement must respect the rights and identities of all communities in Northern Ireland.
