Record of informal discussion on procedural guidelines and agenda for plenary session on 9 July 1996 at 13.00

Tuesday, 09 July 1996

i24816

This document provides an account of the informal discussion on procedural guidelines and agenda for the plenary session which took place on 9 July 1996 at 13.00. The meeting began with William McCrea and Cedric Wilson criticizing the British Government for the RUC's decision to prevent the Orange Order from entering Drumcree on 7 July 1996. They announced their decision to withdraw from the talks process and the DUP and UKUP representatives exited the meeting in protest. The remaining parties agreed that continuing talks without the unionist parties was futile (UUP, UDP and PUP delegates were also absent from the meeting). Chairman George Mitchell decided that they would go ahead with the bilaterals with the expectation that discussions would resume from the following week, after some consultation between the chairmen and the parties.
