General John de Chastelain made the announcement at a news conference accompanied by the two churchmen who witnessed the process. “We are satisfied that the arms decommissioned represent the totality of the IRA’s arsenal.” Welcoming the move, Prime Minister Tony Blair said IRA decommissioning had been “finally accomplished”.
