In July his licence was revoked by the then secretary of state for Northern Ireland, Peter Hain. There was evidence, said Mr Hain, that Sean Kelly had become "re-involved in terrorism".
Ten days later, Kelly was released on the orders of Mr Hain, a move strongly condemned by unionists.
The release was ordered on the eve of a statement by the IRA.
At the time, Mr Hain said the IRA statement "created a new situation and thereby changed the context of my original decision to suspend Sean Kelly's licence".
"The government accepts that the statement by the IRA is intended to express an end to paramilitary activity and criminality," he said.
