Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The minutes from the first meeting of Strand One of the Northern Ireland Negotiations on 7 October 1997, chaired by Mr Murphy. Mr Murphy emphasized the British Government's impartiality despite its dual role as Chairman and participant, a stance opposed by Sinn Féin but supported by the PUP. Opening statements were made by various parties, with the PUP advocating for a united community based on inclusion and the UUP stressing the importance of maintaining the Union and building on common economic and social issues. Procedural discussions included the scheduling of business, with differing views on whether to revisit agreements from the 1991/92 Talks, and concluded with plans for the next meeting and the issuance of a press communiqué summarizing the proceedings.
