Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

Simon Partridge's document, 'Existing British–Irish Links,' explores the intricate and multifaceted relationship between the peoples of Britain and Ireland, emphasizing the significant historical, economic, social, cultural, and familial ties that bind the two nations. Partridge highlights the extensive human connections, noting that a substantial portion of the Irish diaspora resides in the UK, and many Britons have Irish relatives or friends. Despite political tensions and disagreements, he argues that there are numerous institutional and political links fostering cooperation between the two countries. Partridge suggests that leveraging these positive inter-island relationships could contribute to resolving the conflict in Northern Ireland, drawing ins PIRAtion from the Scandinavian model of intergovernmental cooperation.
