THE IRA last night expressed deep concern after claiming the British Government had failed to deliver on commitments to the Northern Ireland peace process.

As London and Dublin prepared for a new round of talks in a bid to end the political deadlock, the Provisional leadership said they had taken significant initiatives to advance the situation.

But republicans accused Downing Street and the Irish administration of failing to keep their side of the bargain.

In its New Year statement the IRA insisted its third act of decommissioning in October, as part of a failed choreography to restore the devolved Stormont Assembly, had been its biggest yet.

"This involved the largest amount of arms to date. After that the sequence was put on hold. Since then the two governments have not honoured their part of it.

"Consequently there has been no progress on a range of issues involved.
