Enclosure: Annex B – David Andrew's speaking note on Sinn Féin and the possible representation under rule 29

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

Mr. Andrews, representing the Irish Government, emphasized the severe gravity of the current situation affecting the peace talks and the overall peace process in Northern Ireland. He expressed regret that the focus had to shift from substantive negotiations to address urgent issues, but deemed it necessary. The Irish Government strongly condemns all killings and the use or threat of violence for political purposes, reaffirming that the principles of democracy and non-violence are fundamental to the integrity of the talks. Andrews called for equitable and consistent application of the rules, urging all parties, particularly Sinn Féin, to present their positions regarding the recent killings and adherence to the Mitchell Principles, after which the Governments would review the situation and determine appropriate actions.
