Martin McGuinness People Quotations

That's healthy and good for us that there are people who are prepared to question what we are doing.

I believe there is a broad spectrum of people who would be interested in a return of the IRA campaign.

I think it is right that the people of Derry should expect those people who ordered soldiers to come here and kill 14 people and wound 14 more should be accountable before the law.

British rule depends upon repression and collaboration and the Irish people should recognise that those who collaborate with Britain in exchange for a slice of the cake will implement British policy and remain silent when Irish people are murdered and oppressed. It is they who are responsible for prolonging the war in Ireland. Without the quislings, without the collaborators, we would already have reached freedom.

The IRA's decision on July 28th to formally end its armed campaign has changed the political landscape in Ireland forever. I am confident that tomorrow will bring the final chapter on the issue of IRA arms. I believe that Ireland stands on the cusp of a truly historic advance, and I hope that people across the island will respond positively in the time ahead.
