Sinn Féin announced this afternoon that party president Mr Gerry Adams will deliver what is described as "a keynote address" on thecurrent state of the peace process tomorrow afternoonin Stormont.
Speculation is mounting now that republicans may release the latest IRA statement asefforts to revive the flagging Northern Ireland peace process continued.
The Taoiseach, Mr Ahern, and the British Prime Minister, Mr Tony Blair, are maintaining contact with Mr Adams and the Ulster Unionist leader, Mr David Trimble, over the weekend in their efforts to break the political deadlock. The Assembly is expected to be formally dissolved at midnight tomorrow.
Earlier today, Sinn Féin's chief negotiator Mr Martin McGuinness hinted today that the IRA statement submitted to the Irish and British governments earlier this month could soon be released into the public domain.
He said the public had a right to know what the Provisionals had offered and what was in the two governments' blueprint on the full implementation of the Belfast Agreement.
"It's my view that the public deserve to have a sense of what the IRA put to the two governments and the leader of the Ulster Unionists," he said. "It will be incumbent on everybody to publish the joint declaration which deals with critical issues around the rights and entitlements of people."
On Wednesday, the British Prime Minister Mr Tony Blair put three questions to the IRA publicly in a bid to get more clarity from the organisation about its future.
Sinn Féin leaders reacted angrily, insisting the IRA statement was "clear and unambiguous". Mr McGuinness said it was Sinn Féin's view that the statement passed by the IRA was unprecedented, unparalleled and final."The IRA used the words that they had concluded their statement and that is where it sits," he said.
"Both governments are facing important decisions over the coming days. They must release the joint declaration but we also need to know that Assembly elections are going ahead on May 29th.
"Tony Blair needs to state clearly there will be an election and David Trimble needs to state clearly he is prepared to let the institutions function properly."
The Sinn Féin MP said his party believed it would be wrong for the British government "to suspend the democratic process" by postponing elections."We want the Assembly dissolved at midnight tomorrow as agreed, so that elections can take place. People are entitled to vote. Devolution may be suspended but no-one has the right to suspend the democratic process."
