The response by the Irish Government addresses the status and significance of the Ground Rules Paper in the context of the Northern Ireland peace negotiations. The Ground Rules Paper, agreed upon by both the British and Irish Governments, outlines the legal and political framework for the negotiations, ensuring that parties contesting the election could rely on its consistency post-election. The Irish Government emphasizes that while negotiators can agree on procedural rules, these must not conflict with the Ground Rules Paper, which remains the fundamental reference document. The Ground Rules are crucial for protecting the freedom of negotiators to raise significant issues and ensuring an open agenda, with any outcomes subject to a democratic referendum, thereby maintaining the integrity of the negotiation process.
