In his statement at the Strand Two Negotiations on 20 October 1997, Minister for Foreign Affairs David Andrews TD reiterated the Irish Government's stance on Articles 2 and 3 of the Irish Constitution. He emphasized that any proposed changes to the Constitution would be part of a balanced constitutional change within an overall agreement, a position shared with the British Government as outlined in the Framework Document. Andrews acknowledged the deeply held views of both the Unionist and Nationalist communities regarding these Articles, stressing the need for arrangements that ensure 'equality of allegiance.' He recognized the complexity of achieving a balanced constitutional accommodation but affirmed the Irish Government's commitment to meeting this challenge and responsibility.
