In tandem with this secret diplomacy, the IRA's armed campaign continued - at great intensity.

The question has to be asked - for what purpose?

There was no need for an armed campaign if the objective was the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Such a settlement was the fixed policy of both the London and Dublin Governments from the early 1970's onwards.

The Sunningdale Agreement of 1973 - an internal settlement Mark 1 - was, if anything, a better deal for the Catholic Minority than the current Paisley/McGuinness right-wing coalition sitting on Stormont Hill.
