Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

In a transcript dated 24 September 1997, UUP Leader David Trimble addressed the conclusion of the Opening Plenary session of talks at Stormont. Trimble highlighted the procedural motion's inclusion of key phrases on consent and decommissioning, aligning with the British and Irish governments' joint statement from September 15. He noted the significant development of Sinn Féin being the sole party to vote against the motion, interpreting this as a step towards marginalizing Sinn Féin and breaking up the pan-nationalist front. Trimble expressed satisfaction with the progress made, emphasizing the importance of consent as the guiding principle for the negotiations and the potential for achieving a settlement acceptable to all.
