Sinn Féin portrayed this as a “powerful signal that peace-building requires leadership”. While others proposed that it was the final capitulation of the Provisional to the establishment.

Republican Sinn Féin's view:
"Provisionals are part and parcel of British administration in Ireland‏
In a statement on June 22 the President of Republican Sinn Féin, Des Dalton, said:
“The upcoming meeting of British Crown Minister Martin McGuinness with the Queen of England is merely a symbolic confirmation of the fact that the Provisionals are part and parcel of the British administration in Ireland. The reality of British Rule on the ground for nationalists has not changed with arbitrary arrest and internment without trial still used to secure British occupation."
