Northern Ireland remained tense but relatively calm early today.

thousands turned out yesterday to mourn the death of Dermott
McShane.
His funeral is being held today in Northern Ireland's second city,
Londonderry.
McShane, a Catholic militant, was run down by a police armored vehicle
during the riots.
Leaders on both sides are now calling for calm and an end to
violence.
Sinn Fein Leader Jerry Adams addressed a huge crowd in Belfast yesterday.
SUPER:Jerry Adams, Sinn Fein Leader
------
there are lessons for all of us, and we must learn the lessoons,
and we must use our heads and be lead by our heads and not by our
hearts.
that appeal was echoed by David Ervine, a protestant militant
leader:
-------
Unionists need to begin to realize that they are going to have
to sit down with those who are their avowed enemies an d who they
have great disagreements with, that's the only way forward.
But the fear is that the bomb that blasted a luxury hotel in
Enniskillen over the weekend may have opened the way for the
protestant militants to break their two year long ceasefire.
The huge car bomb is thought to be the work of a Catholic nationalist
splinter group.
The question no is whether the peace process in Northern Ireland
can somehow be saved.
The hope is that both sides will now pull back for a cooling off period.
