Reaction to the IRA statement was more cautious at the Connswater shopping centre, a predominantly Protestant area of East Belfast.

Mr Jenkins, a youth worker, said: "I've heard it before, so we'll have to see. Hopefully it's progress this time. We'll have to see the weapons, and beatings stop, before I can actually believe it."
