Report from Chairmen of Strand One

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

This document is a report by the Chairman, Paul Murphy, to the Review Plenary on the discussions held in Strand One of the talks since the start of substantive negotiations on 7 October. The report details the round-table meetings, submission of papers by parties, and the intensive bilateral discussions. It notes that most delegations found merit in the proposals formulated in 1992 and the British Government's paper of 1995, but also suggested improvements. There was a significant agreement in favour of an elected institution in Northern Ireland, with proportional representation. The report also mentions the need for checks and balances to protect all community interests. However, the idea of a Panel proposed in 1992 was criticised. The report concludes with the Chairman's confidence that an agreement can be reached on Strand One issues within a broader agreed settlement. The report is dated 2 December 1997.
