Sinn Féin Willing To Meet Dissidents Who Have 'Upped Their Campaign' Against The Community
Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams said his party is willing to meet with dissidents who have "upped their campaign" against the community.
Mr Adams said his party has consistently called on the groups to stop their actions and enter into dialogue.
Mr Adams said: "Some of those involved in these groups are heavily involved in criminality. And while the majority of their attacks and threats have been against members of the nationalist community they have also killed and injured police and prison officers.
"Recently they have sought to promote confrontation at interfaces and on the issue of marching.
"It now appears they are also seeking to heighten confrontation with the community.
"These groups are entitled to oppose Sinn Féin, however their campaign against the community must end.
"I would appeal to those involved to end their futile violent campaign, which is going nowhere. It causes hardship and loss for families, including prisoners' families."
