Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has said the IRA has gone away and nobody directs the party other than its members and leadership.
"Also, we have been contributing to the IRC reporting on the status of various paramilitary groups and we would hold with their opinion on these matters. "I have heavy responsibilities in terms of protecting the people of Ireland in preventing and detecting crime and we will work with whatever minister to achieve those aims," he said.
Mr Hamilton said at the time: "They are not on a war footing, they are not involved in paramilitary activity in the sense that they were during part of the conflict." Responding to Commissioner Harris' assessment, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar asked why Ms McDonald does not disband the army council and the IRA or sever all links with them.

eoghanymurphy Read my lips?
So why then would a newly elected td sing or chant up the ra
Are we ever going to move on? We need to look to the future. We have come through an unnatural period of history & we can’t view it objectively in our now normal environment.
Quite astonishing both ff and fg sought to have Sinn Fein back in stormont but running a smear campaign against them now when it suits
Don’t believe her
Not in the clip is Michelle O’Neill’s fingers crossed behind her back liarliar
Bogsideandproud That that ridiculous question was even asked proves RTÉ nothing but a propagandist!
The toes are curling on fianna fail & fine Gael just get over it and move on from the past it's not working keep your Puppet in play RUC, PSNI DREW HARRIS
Bollocks! Distance yourself from paramilitary violence by condemning he real IRA!!
As it is the government’s responsibility to defend the integrity of all aspects of governance - should Mr.Harris’s history and intervention at this sensitive time be investigated to ensure that this intervention does not represent an intrusion of a foreign actor in our democracy.
Given Brexit negotiations, would British government prefer not to deal with SF? Has Mr.Harris ever worked as an agent of the British government? Could his statement effect government formation here? Would this advantage the British government? Is he still acting on their behalf?
Mmm I’m not so sure!

The Army Council must have told her to say that. sinnfeinireland can't be trusted while the connections remain
Find someone who looks at you the same way moneillsf looks at MaryLouMcDonald 🤩🥰😎✌🏽
British intelligence/RUC knew the UDA were involved in hundreds of sectarian murders but never bothered their arse having them proscribed until the conflict was almost over.
Why is O'Neill hanging around
Yeah right .....
😂
We’ll see about that . Has Murphy apologised yet, have the punishment beatings stopped ,the smuggling ,the protection racketeers or did Gerry tell you that ?
Thing is, the bullshit ship has sailed. The young people in this country dont listen to horseshite and this just hardens their support for Sinn Fein. The old guard of FF and FG controlling the media, shows how deep we gotta dig to get them out.
Cut out the lying Mary Lou your party has been caught out on your line by to law enforcement agencies
Do the IRA rule over sinn fein🤔
Where did they go?
Government wheeling out Double 0 Harris in last ditched effort to discredit Mary Lou after her sensational speech yesterday. The gig is up Mehole & Leo ,We see you..
Ahhhh that’s grand so Mary glad we sorted that out.sure what would Drew Harris know 🤷♂️?
Build peace, sinn fein for government
People are genuinely afraid.
Keel tellin urself that Mary 🤣🤣🤣
🚨🚨🚨National Alert🚨🚨🚨 Met Eireann warns of Sinner bots approaching rapidly coming mostly from Northern Ireland😣 Their mission to put distrust in our... -Garda -Press -RTÉ -Every political party that’s not sf Basically anyone who has a different opinion to sinn fein🤷🏼♂️
The Establishment is really not liking change. Why wasn’t this brought up in recent years? The timing is very convenient.
I thought the Garda Commissioner was supposed to be politically neutral 🤔🤔🤔
She’s full of shite. Loopy Lou ant come out and say they still exsist her superiors in the Army Council would love that 😂
If the IRA are still around - why doesn't Drew Harris and his band of merry men north & south start making some arrests? Or is it just a smearing campaign....
Great timing this from FF/FG. Just as they are about to cobble together some little plot for govt. The world and its dog knows the IRA has disbanded - for good. The greenparty_ie will never recover if they prop up the dinosaur parties
Why is it never brought up that this man signed a document preventing him from revealing loyalist/British collusion in the murder of Irish people to the Irish government, that should tell you all you need to know about Drew'MI5'Harris & the people who tapped him for garda comish.
Simon Hamilton of PSNI said following in 2015 regarding residual structures of PIRA: 'There is a mechanism, perhaps to bring people along this path of the peace process, to pursue a peaceful political republican agenda without recourse to violence'.
god , its the same with every popular left political party. people who support them and argue in their favor are all 'trolls' , well this troll says cry harder you craven idiots . this is a very transparent attempt to keep power
Ye right mary 😂
😂😂😂 and there will be idiots that believe her
Cut out the lying ye have been caught out on your party lying by 2 will known law enforcement
As believable as Gerry Adams was never in the IRA.
Liar !
Chief of police saying a major political party in that country.... Is run by the army council of a former terrorist organisation is a little bit unusual....Bit like the Middle East...
There’s no doubt the leadership directs SF, the confusion here is over who exactly the leadership is
💩💩💩
I wonder how MI5 feels about Drew Harris blowing his cover ?
Drew Harris ex RUC man what do you expect. Sinn Fein do well and these stories appear ? Mary Lou for Taoiseach
Sinn Fein= IRA
I must admit, the more attacks I hear on SF, the more determine I am to vote for them again.
Shame on you RTE. Setting the agenda again in an effort to discredit Sinn Fein. The people can see through you. You're a disgrace.
Liar liar pants on fire 🤣
I'm not saying that most Sinn Féin supporters are former republican terrorists, but most former republican terrorists are Sinn Féin supporters.
Non tax paying Woman from another juristician there beside her nodding.............
Drew Harris ex RUC. Ask Drew about the RUC 's use of infomers to commit murder and get away with it. Old RUC, old grudges.
The destruction of Martin in the Dail yesterday evening was a sight to behold.
Which Ard Fheis was Michelle O'Neill voted in at?
