On February 6, Republican Sinn Fein Vice President Geraldine Taylor said that the agreement at Hillsborough is just a further indication of the depths that
Unionised Provisionals will go to uphold British rule in our country:

“They have now added the administration of British policing and justice to their already full ‘portfolio’ in administering British rule on Irish people in the Occupied Six Counties.

“We as Republicans know only too well the jackboot tactics they will employ against those who oppose British occupation and what we will have to endure in the future - history has show us what to expect.

“We call on all Republicans opposed to continued British rule, be it from Westminster or Stormont, to join us in the continuing struggle for Irish unity and self-determination. Republicans especially will be under the eye of those who once opposed occupation and called for self-determination.
Our road will not be an easy road because we will have to endure British Law enforced by the Provos, decided on with the Unionists. It’s the same old British boot but with a willing Provo foot.
We cannot forget the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who gave their lives and the many who endured years of imprisonment and torture, and although the signs may not be apparent at the moment this agreement will only extend the continued repression of Republican Prisoners.”

Geraldine Taylor concluded “be true to yourself, your principles and your country”.
