Irish Government paper on constitutional issues for Strand Two

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document, presented by the Irish Government on 17 October 1997, elaborates on the constitutional issues discussed in 'Strand Two - Principles and Requirements' as part of the negotiations leading to the Good Friday Agreement. It emphasizes the need for a balanced accommodation of the differing views of the two main traditions in Northern Ireland, as outlined in paragraphs 14-21 of 'A New Framework for Agreement.' The Irish Government underscores the importance of self-determination and consent, recognizing the necessity of securing broad agreement across both traditions. The document also highlights the commitment of both the British and Irish Governments to uphold the democratic wishes of the people of Northern Ireland, ensuring that any constitutional changes reflect an equitable and honorable accommodation of both unionist and nationalist as PIRAtions.
