Report from a committee [unknown] on the Anglo-Irish Agreement

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document is the third chapter of a book [pp. 24-73]. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985, detailing the extensive negotiations that led to its formation and the subsequent reactions and implications. The negotiations involved high-level meetings between British and Irish officials over 18 months, characterized by official secrecy and frequent press leaks. The Agreement aimed to address political, security, legal, and cross-border cooperation issues, but it faced significant criticism for its lack of consultation with Northern Ireland's representatives and the perceived encroachment on British sovereignty. The document highlights the dissatisfaction among Unionist parties and other groups in Northern Ireland, who felt excluded from the process and concerned about the Agreement's impact on their status and governance.
