But what does the peave movement offer? Apart from hymns and prayers they have offered nothing. And this is hardly surprising. The complete absense of speeches at the varioas rallies in East Belfast and the Shankill is a necessity, because once women from the Falls and Shankill started explaining what they mean by "peace', the supposed unity would crack asunder.

Women from the Shankill will applaud women from the Falls if they understand that the Falls 'peace" is a rebuttal of the Provos, the surrender of the Catholic rising. peace for the Shankill has always meant. Everybody can support the abstract idea of peace, but what this means in practice the women Andersonstown who have joined the movement have little to say.

What importance does Sinn Feinn attach to the attempts of the British Government to deRepublican prisoners political status?

This is very important to the Republican Movement, as we see it as an attempt by the British Government to remove the political tag from the struggle. What better way could this than by branding the prisoners of war they have captured as criminals I think this is a very important part of British strategy, and the Republican Movement will not accept it AS matter of fact, hese can Movement ever SECtO is presently making its own form
