Writing Peace: George J. Mitchell Collection

Record of a strand 2 meeting on 24 March 1998 at 10.40

Tuesday, 31 March 1998

i25756

The Chairman began by holding a brief plenary session in which Sinn Féin reaffirmed their commitment to the Mitchell principles and were readmitted to the talks. The meeting went on to discuss the 'further synthesis' paper, focusing first on the funding, administrative support and accountability for a North/South council, and then on a possible role for civic society within new institutional structures. Sinn Féin was critical of any involvement of a Northern Ireland assembly in accountability mechanisms for a North/South Council because of the possibility of a unionist veto being used to restrict the powers of the body. The PUP emphasised that any new settlement had to be built on mutual trust.
