On 9 February 1996 , less than two years after the declaration of the ceasefire , the IRA revoked it with the Docklands bombing in the Canary Wharf area of London , killing two people , injuring 39 others , and causing £ 85 million in damage to the city 's financial centre . Sinn Féin blamed the failure of the ceasefire on the British Government 's refusal to begin all-party negotiations until the IRA decommissioned its weapons
