Why hasn't Corbyn condemned the IRA?

Corbyn generally sticks to the mantra that he condems all violence.


However in in 1994 Jeremy Corbyn signed a motion that condemned IRA violence.
Jeremy Corbyn signed a motion in the House of Commons that condemned IRA violence and "extended its sympathy to the relatives of those murdered".

The Leader of the Labour Party supported an early day motion put forward by Labour MP David Winnick to commemorate the victims of the IRA bombing in Birmingham in 1974.  
The motion was tabled on the 20 year anniversary of the attack that killed 21 people and injured 182 others and was signed by Mr Corbyn in November 1994.


So in answer to the question

Why hasn't Corbyn condemned the IRA?

He has.
