Alliance submission to Strand Two on a new system of North–South relations

Monday, 27 October 1997

i28294

The Alliance Party's paper dated 27 October 1997, outlines proposals for North-South cooperation, emphasizing the necessity of democratic accountability and the establishment of a responsibility-sharing Northern Ireland Assembly. The document suggests a tripartite structure involving the British government, the Irish government, and a new Northern Ireland administration to ensure consultation and cooperation on common concerns, replacing or extending the current Inter-Governmental Conference. It proposes that North-South institutions should involve executive responsibilities, civil servants, and inter-parliamentary contacts to promote consultation, cooperation, and harmonization in areas such as economic development, tourism, agriculture, and health care. The paper also calls for formal structures to ensure coordination, regular meetings, and the development of common strategies, with decisions implemented separately in each jurisdiction by the relevant authorities.
