Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

SDLP submission to Strand Two (agenda item 3) on co-ordinating social and economic development in Ireland

i28058

The Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) document from November 1997 emphasizes the necessity of a coordinated approach to socio-economic planning between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to maximize potential benefits. It highlights the strengths and weaknesses of both economies, noting the North's [sic] recent industrial resurgence post-ceasefires and the South's [sic] success in attracting foreign investment. The document argues for moving beyond voluntary and ad hoc cooperation to strategic, coordinated planning, particularly in sectors like tourism, agriculture, transport, and energy, to address high unemployment and poverty levels. It calls for political intervention to ensure effective North-South economic integration, leveraging lessons from European integration to enhance policy coordination and harmonization.
