The Prime Minister and the Taoiseach confirm that if the IRA were to end violence for good then – after a sufficient interval to ensure the permanence of their intent – Sinn Fein could enter the political arena as a democratic party and join the dialogue on the way ahead. The British Government confirm that they would be prepared to enter preliminary dialogue with Sinn Fein three months after a genuine and unequivocal cessation of violence by the IRA had been announced and established.".
