is still up there for grabs," Adams said in a BBC radio interview. "The question is not if we will get it. The question is when we will get it." He was referring to a deadline of next Thursday, set by the British and Irish governments, for reaching a peace agreement to end three decades of conflict between Protestants and Catholics. Adams' optimism followed a meeting on Wednesday between Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern and his British counterpart Tony Blair which apparently ended without an agreement on a crucial point -- the powers to be given to all-Ireland bodies. Adams said he believed Ahern had the will to resolve outstanding issues. "I think Mr Blair, who is immensely busy, is only now starting to focus on them, and I think that between the two of them and everyone else here that we can make this work," he said. Adams coupled his expression of hope for success of the all-party talks, at which the issues are being thrashed out, with an appeal for an end to violence while the negotiations proceed. He said he did not know who was responsible for a massive bomb discovered on Thursday by Irish police in a car that was about to board a ferry for the Welsh port of Holyhead. He was glad that no one was hurt. "At a time when we are trying to bring about a lasting peace, all of the armed organisations, from the British right across through the (Protestant) loyalists to any of the republican crowd, need to stop," he said.
