Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document details a proximity talks meeting held on 11 March 1996, between the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) representatives and the Irish Government, represented by John Bruton and other senior ministers. Key issues discussed included the management of Sinn Féin's involvement, the necessity of decommissioning, and the legal basis for decommissioning verification. The UUP emphasized the need for tangible evidence of decommissioning before talks could proceed and expressed concerns about Sinn Féin's commitment to the peace process. The Irish Government acknowledged the complexities of decommissioning and the need for broader legislative measures, while also stressing the importance of moving forward with the peace talks and addressing wider issues beyond decommissioning.
