i28343

The document is an extract of a speech from David Andrews representing the Irish Government's stance on Articles 2 and 3 of the Irish Constitution, emphasizing the need for balanced constitutional change as part of an overall agreement in the ongoing negotiations. This position is shared with the British Government, as formally set out in the Framework Document. The Irish Government acknowledges the deeply held views of the Unionist community regarding these Articles and stresses the importance of addressing both Unionist and Nationalist concerns to achieve an honourable agreement. The document reiterates the commitment of the Irish Government to meet the challenges and responsibilities of finding a balanced constitutional accommodation, with the ultimate goal of putting the overall agreement to the people in referendums.
