Magee-Loyalist Bilaterals
This committee has been created to model bilateral contacts between Reverend Magee and unknown Loyalist representatives.
Northern Ireland Downing Street Joint Declaration (1993)
This project models the series of formal and informal negotiations which led to the publication, in December 1993, of a declaration issued jointly by the British and Irish Governments. The Joint Declaration was a critical policy document which paved the way for a ceasefire and the entry of Sinn Féin into formal talks. It also laid out a shared set of principles – including, crucially, self-determination for the people of Ireland subject to the consent of the people of Northern Ireland – which would come to underpin the Belfast Good Friday Agreement and provide a framework for its ratification.

[Exact date and time unknown] On 29 September 1993, Reverend Roy Magee reported to Martin Mansergh that he was developing principles for peace during his work with Loyalist paramilitary groups. One of these principles would later be passed back to Mansergh in a list of enumerated rights.

[Exact date and time unknown] The 'Magee list' of rights which was eventually included in the Joint Declaration has been traced back by Christopher McCrudden to a November 1993 issue of Combat magazine. We have created this session to model this process.

[Exact date and time unknown] The text of the 'Magee list' of rights which was eventually included in the Joint Declaration was based on a document drawn up by Reverend Roy Magee in consultation with Loyalist paramilitaries. We have no record of the creation of this document so we have modelled it on the day it was shown to Martin Mansergh.
