This document is a transcript of a session in the Irish Parliament on 11 December 1996, where various members questioned the Taoiseach about his recent meeting with the British Prime Minister and the conditions for Sinn Féin's participation in multi-party talks. The Taoiseach emphasized the need for an unequivocal PIRA ceasefire and adherence to the Mitchell principles as prerequisites for Sinn Féin's inclusion in the talks. He highlighted the importance of building trust and the role of both governments in facilitating inclusive negotiations. The Taoiseach also addressed concerns about the potential use of security intelligence to delay Sinn Féin's entry into the talks and reiterated the necessity for the republican movement to take responsibility for the peace process.
