David Trimble, leader of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), addressed the media following the conclusion of the Opening Plenary session of the talks at Stormont on 24 September 1997. Trimble expressed satisfaction that the procedural motion, which included key phrases on consent and decommissioning, was passed with sufficient consensus, despite Sinn Féin's opposition. He highlighted the significance of isolating Sinn Féin and breaking up the pan-nationalist front, viewing it as a crucial step towards achieving progress in the negotiations. Trimble emphasized that the principle of consent would guide the negotiations and expressed contentment with the achievements made thus far, while acknowledging the need for further progress.
