Irish peace plan ready
The Associated Press
LONDON — Agreeing at last on a vision for the future of Northern Ireland, British and Irish leaders embark today on the next difficult step toward peace; persuading Protestants and Catholics to sit down and talk.
"The objective that I have ... is to ensure that what has been thus far a cease-fire is able to be turned into a permanent peace," Prime Minister John Major told the House of Commons yesterday.
The long-awaited document that Major and Irish Prime Minister John Bruton plan to release today in Belfast sets up a framework for negotiations and is likely to fall short of all parties' aspirations.
The intention is to accommodate the conflicting aspirations of a proBritish Protestant majority and a Catholic minority that wants to end British rule of Northern Ireland—the ancient grudge that sustained a quarter-century of violence.
The Irish Republican Army began a cease-fire Sept. 1, and pro-British
gunmen from the Protestant side followed suit in mid-October.
The cease-fires brought rapid changes. British soldiers ceased patrolling Londonderry on Oct. 24, and daytime patrols ended in Belfast on Jan. 15. British officials began meeting in December with officials from Sinn Fein, the party that supports the IRA, about the all-party negotiations.
Both governments already have promised Protestants that any agreements would be subject to a referendum within Northern Ireland and that the province would remain in the United Kingdom so long as a majority of its people wish.
The framework is expected to include a pledge from the Irish Republic to amend its constitutional claim to Northern Ireland.
For Catholics, the document likely is to include proposals for new bodies to deal with such issues as agriculture and tourism on an all-Ireland basis. Unionists have denounced such ideas as halfway houses to Irish unity.
