There are 0 proposed amendments related to this document on which decisions have not been taken.

1. Unionist wish to have Northern Ireland recognised as a natural democratic entity and consequences of that.

2. Unionist failure in real terms to recognise the nationalist identity. In addition they confuse traditions and jurisdictions. They are not co-terminous. No recognition of nationalist tradition's all Ireland frame of reference.

3. The absence of allegiance to institutions of state by sections of the community – an absence which creates particular problems in the fields of justice and order.

Decisions yet to be taken
