Strand Two: North/South Structures – A paper by the British and Irish Governments

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document, presented by the British and Irish Governments on 27 January 1998, aims to facilitate discussions on North/South structures as part of the multi-party talks in Strand Two. It proposes the establishment of a new British–Irish Agreement to replace the Anglo-Irish Agreement, including the creation of a North/South Ministerial Council to foster cooperation and decision-making on mutual interests, accountable to both the Northern Ireland Assembly and the Oireachtas. The paper outlines key issues for detailed debate, such as the purpose, composition, legal basis, roles, and functions of the Council, as well as mechanisms for implementation, accountability, and funding. The Governments emphasize the importance of these structures in achieving a comprehensive settlement and encourage contributions from all parties to refine the proposals.
