And the fact he was able to assist in it just shows how close he was to Sinn Fein (and by extension the IRA) throughout all the conflict.

That was the entire point. Move these men away from terrorism and towards a political process.
How do you think Blair brought about the peace process? Do you sincerely believe he did this on his own?
Corbyn was a partisan to the cause, not to the process.
