TPQ features a press release from the 1916 Societies regarding the 20th anniversary of the 1994 Provisional IRA ceasefire.
20 years on from the momentous events of August 1994 and the historic IRA ceasefire of that time, movement towards the reunification of Ireland has been sparse on the ground with Irish Unity arguably as far away as ever. Promises of a new and final phase of struggle to secure British withdrawal and the realisation of a sovereign Irish republic have failed to materialise, with the energies of Irish republicanism pinned down under the weight of the 1998 British-Irish Agreement and its ability to deliver, if nothing else, a degree of peace to the long-troubled six-counties while preserving the strategic interests of the British state in Ireland.
