i27841

In a press release dated 1 July 1997, David Trimble has sought clarification from Prime Minister Tony Blair regarding several issues outlined in the Joint Paper of June 25. Trimble's letter raises questions about Sinn Féin/ PIRA's response to the Joint Paper, the necessity of a complete and permanent end to violence from the Republican Movement, and the testing period for any new ceasefire. Additionally, Trimble seeks assurances that Sinn Féin will commit to PIRA disarmament upon entering the talks and that any PIRA violence will result in Sinn Féin's exclusion from the process. He also questions the functionality and timing of the proposed Decommissioning subcommittee and Commission, emphasizing the need for a clear timetable for the disarmament of all paramilitary organizations and assurances from the Irish Government regarding their commitment to the process.
