Irish Government paper on constitutional issues

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document, submitted by the Irish Government delegation, addresses constitutional issues relevant to the Northern Ireland peace talks. It emphasizes that all constitutional matters are open for discussion, without limitations, to ensure a comprehensive airing of issues from both nationalist and unionist perspectives. The document critiques the Government of Ireland Act for its historical flaws and lack of acceptance by the nationalist community, highlighting the need for a new constitutional framework that accommodates the diverse traditions of Ireland. It also defends the Irish Constitution against criticisms, particularly regarding its territorial claims, and underscores the commitment to peaceful resolution and cooperation, while acknowledging the potential for constitutional change if it reflects the as PIRAtions of both communities and promotes peace and stability.
