The threat from Northern Ireland Related Terrorism remains severe. Dissident Republican groupings retain lethal intent and capability. The threat is being suppressed but the need for total vigilance remains. As we made clear in our Northern Ireland manifesto at the election we will always give the fullest possible backing to the brave men and women of the PSNI and MI5 who do such a superb job. Under this Government there will be no let-up in our efforts to ensure that terrorism never succeeds.
