Friday, 06 December 1996

This is an internal record of an opening plenary session on 12 June 1996. Before the meeting had formally opened, the DUP objected to the behaviour of the UUP and the two governments. When Patrick Mayhew invited Senator Mitchell to take the chair, this met with further intense opposition from the DUP and UKUP. After some debate, these two parties left the meeting. Senator Mitchell then made his introductory statement. Participants who were present made a commitment to the Mitchell principles. The UUP made a push to address decommissioning immediately.
