Writing Peace: The National Archives of the UK (TNA)

1993-11-10

Page 2 is slightly blurry. Meeting was attended by Robin Butler, John Chilcot, Quentin Thomas, Dermot Nally and Seán Ó hUiginn. A new draft - JD13 - was discussed. The Irish position was as follows: firm on Provisional exclusion unless they agreed to consent principle to drop time limit for withdrawal demand, enthusiastic about direction of peace process, and set up to blame British intransigence if no progress before 3rd December 1993. The British position was more circumspect regarding the potential of the JDI given the exacabatory effect of the recent Hume/Adams talks on constitutional Unionist fears. There followed a fundamental difference of opinion over the potential for peace. The authorship and implications of JD13's text was discussed. Divisions again emerged over the compatibility of the JDI and the Talks process ,with the British affirming and the Irish admitting their preference for the former.
