Letter: Northern Ireland: a time for new concepts; Unionist fears; violence that can return
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The request by the British Government for Sinn Fein to clarify whether or not the ceasefire is permanent is surely time wasting in what is a very delicate and important time in the peace process. If the IRA decides that during the peace process, it wishes to return to a campaign of violence, it makes no difference whether or not it had called a permanent ceasefire.
Yours sincerely,
