Letter from David Blatherwick to Graham Archer Recording a Meeting with Martin Mansergh on 10 November 1993

Wednesday, 10 November 1993

i22872

Record of meeting with Martin Mansergh about a peace framework. Indicates urgency with which Irish government wants a commitment to peace (by summit on 3rd December 1993). Indicates that Mansergh had drafted JD13 after comments from Archbishop Eames to Albert Reynolds. Illustrates pathway for covertly showing JD13 to the PIRA, and notes that they had previously rejected JD12 as they were still pushing for a time limit and for HMG to joint the persuaders. Differences between British and Irish remain over the Talks process, with British frustrated by Irish refusal to produce a Framework paper. Annotations by David Blatherwick, for clarification, and by Quentin Thomas upon receipt of the document on 15 November.
