ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE SEARCH FOR AGREEMENT ON A NEW RELATIONSHIP

1. The Territorial claim (Articles 2 and 3). Unambiguous consensus on constitutional issues.

2. The absence of institutional structures for contact and co-operation between the two parts of Ireland. (Kernel of Strand II).

3. The need to ensure that the outcome of the talks, taken as a whole – internal arrangements for the government of Northern Ireland, a new North/South relationship, future relations between the two Governments – give appropriate expression to the identities of both main traditions, on a basis of parity of esteem.

Decisions yet to be taken
