Strand Three: East/West 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 East-West structures within Strand Three of the negotiations. It proposes the establishment of a new British–Irish Agreement to replace the existing Anglo-Irish Agreement, suggesting the creation of an intergovernmental Council that includes representatives from the British and Irish Governments, the Northern Ireland administration, and the devolved institutions in Scotland and Wales. The paper outlines key issues for consideration, such as the purpose, composition, and functions of the Intergovernmental Council and the standing intergovernmental machinery, as well as their operational and democratic accountability arrangements. The document invites participants to contribute their ideas, emphasizing that the final outcome will depend on what can be agreed among all parties involved.
