Seven seats away and one row back from Blair, three ordinary looking men watched, expressionless, as the new government was formed, only smiling briefly to each other when former IRA bomber Gerry Kelly was nominated to join the new administration. Brian Keenan, Bobby Storey and Brian Gillen were once denounced as IRA terrorists by Peter Robinson, another member of the new government; now they sat in the VIP section of the viewing gallery, well within reach of a British prime minister who would once have been considered the ultimate IRA target...
