The document is an excerpt of a report, dated 14 December 1967, from a committee established in 1966 by the three political parties represented in Dáil Éireann to review the constitutional, legislative, and institutional bases of the Irish Government. Chaired by George Colley. The report outlines the committee's deliberations and recommendations on various constitutional articles, including the extent of application of laws, the name of the state, and the republican status of Ireland. The committee emphasized the importance of maintaining the fundamental principles of the Constitution while suggesting specific amendments to address contemporary issues, such as the rewording of Article 3 to reflect the as PIRAtion for national unity and the clarification of the state's name in Article 4. [This document was most likely used as an informative and contextual document in the context of the negotiations in Northern Ireland, especially for Strand Three]
