The IRA confirmed last night it would release the statement setting out peacepledges it gave to the British and Irish Governments last month.
Sinn Fein's chief negotiator, Mr Martin McGuinness told a hunger strikers' commemoration in Dunville Park in West Belfast this afternoon that it was important the public could see the extent of the IRA's commitment to the peace process.
However, Mr McGuinness blamed the British government for the crisis in the peace process, claiming they had "capitulated" to the Ulster Unionist Party.
"The people who need to provide answers now is not the leadership of Sinn Fein, it is not the leadership of the IRA, it is the leadership of the British Government and the Irish Government.
"They have to tell us how they are going to sort out this mess and get the peace process back on track again," he said.
With the British Prime Minister Mr Tony Blair halting the Northern Ireland Assemblyelections because he said republicans had not given clear assurances of an endto all violence, the Provisionals said they would reveal what they had offered.
Once rank-and-file activists had been briefed on its contents it will be madepublic, the IRA disclosed in an announcement last night.
"The IRA leadership has authorised the release of their statementthat was given to the two governments on April 13th," it said.
"First and foremost the statement must be shown to all IRA volunteers.
"Upon completion of this process the statement will be released to thepublic."
The Northern Ireland peace process was plunged into new crisis when Mr Blairpostponed the May 29th poll to the Stormont power-sharing regime.
The joint British-Irish declaration, which was scheduled to form part of a dealwith the IRA statement, has now been published in a bid to put more pressure onthe IRA.
Commitments to slash troop levels in Northern Ireland by nearly 10,000 to apermanent garrison of just 5,000, pull down military watchtowers in Belfast andsouth Armagh, and grant a virtual amnesty to on-the-run paramilitary prisonersare included in that document.
The IRA's announcement followed a call yesterday from Northern IrelandSecretary Mr Paul Murphy for the Provisional IRA to issue a new statement before theelections. He warned the process could be thrown into new turmoil without afresh declaration.
