New IRA are the dregs of our society Ulster Unionist Justice spokesperson Doug Beattie MC MLA has said society needs to unite against what he described as violent republican terrorists, following a statement by the New IRA. "We are now 28 years on from the Belfast Agreement and we need to stop using the term 'dissident republicans.' The New IRA are violent republican terrorists. They have proved that, although they are an amateurish organisation with little support in society, they are wedded to violence and will do all they can to promote their aims through terrorism targeting men, women and children. "The statement by the New IRA is a staggering admission. For them it's not about engagement, it's not about any spurious political aim, and it's not about a unified Ireland. The New IRA are about promoting psychopathic tendencies, with mass murder being their driving force. To target police officers, who have shown time and time again that they will work for all sections of our society with courage and dedication, is cowardly and sickening. To now target police officers and their families in their homes shows these violent republican terrorists for what they are, the dregs of our society. "It is important that the whole of society in Northern Ireland stands together and tells these parasites that they have no place in a Northern Ireland that is forward-looking. It is time our justice system made an example of those who are engaged in terrorism by ensuring they do not receive any form of special treatment in prison and that the sentences match the crimes."
