The minutes from the ninth meeting of Strand One on 3 February 1998, chaired by Mr Murphy, document discussions among various political parties including Alliance, Labour, NIWC, PUP, Sinn Féin, SDLP, and UUP. The meeting focused on the Strand One Paper on Institutional Arrangements, with Alliance proposing mechanisms to safeguard new arrangements against disruption and ensure coordinated executive functioning. The UUP presented a proportional model for an Assembly to guarantee cross-community participation and prevent discrimination, while Sinn Féin and the SDLP debated the interaction of Northern Ireland institutions with the rest of Ireland. The meeting also addressed financial provisions for a devolved government, with parties discussing tax-varying powers and the potential for reducing Northern Ireland's reliance on public expenditure, and concluded with a discussion on Sinn Féin's paper on All-Ireland Regional Councils.
