UUP paper on Inter–Irish Relations and Economic Collaboration

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document is a submission by the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) to Strand Two in October 1992, discussing the potential for cross-border cooperation between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The UUP supports the establishment of an Inter-Irish Relations Committee to facilitate economic, environmental, and other collaborative efforts between Belfast and Dublin. The paper highlights shared economic challenges such as unemployment, migration, and low wages, and proposes areas for cooperation including transport, energy, industrial development, skills and education, agriculture, environment, and tourism. The UUP emphasizes that while closer cooperation is beneficial, it should not compromise Northern Ireland's constitutional position within the United Kingdom, and calls for the removal of the Republic of Ireland's territorial claim over Northern Ireland to foster better relations.
