"The [dissidents] have the advantage of a reasonably proximate objective, which is that they will create tensions that will eventually bring the [Northern Ireland] Assembly down. I do not think they will succeed in that," says Lord Bew. He adds the caveat, "Unless there is a particularly wild reaction from loyalists."
