Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Northern Ireland (Entry to Negotiations, etc) Act 1996, enacted on 29 April 1996, outlines the framework for elections in Northern Ireland to select delegates for negotiations aimed at peace and reconciliation. The Act specifies the formation of a forum composed of these delegates to discuss relevant issues, though it holds no legislative or executive power. It also provides for the possibility of referendums to gauge public opinion on matters related to Northern Ireland, with the Secretary of State overseeing the process and expenses covered by Parliament. The Act includes detailed provisions on the election process, the role of nominating representatives, and the operational procedures of the forum, ensuring structured and inclusive participation in the peace negotiations.
