Video interview with Ken Maginnis, UUP MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone, by Tom Bradby for ITN on 11 August 1994. Despite continued loyalist violence, rumours of a Provisional IRA ceasefire persisted in the late summer of 1994. Earlier that day Hugh Annesley, the Chief Constable of the RUC, stated that a prolonged Provisional IRA ceasefire would see a reduction in British Army patrols in Northern Ireland. Maginnis responds to Annesley’s comments and any potential ceasefire. The Provisional IRA later announced a cessation of military operations on 31 August.
