Republican Sinn Fein has denied that it has a military wing. A statement from the organisation said it "has no military wing and is not the political wing of any other organisation". It repeated the claims made by the IRA continuity army council earlier this year that the "so called" Irish National Republican Army, described as the paramilitary wing of Republican Sinn Fein, and blamed for bombing Killyhevlin Hotel in Enniskillen on July 13th, has "no existence".
