Description

The Report of the New Ireland Forum was published. The authors of the report criticised Britain's policy of 'crisis management' since 1968. The report set out three possible options for the future of Northern Ireland: join with the Republic in a United Ireland; joint authority over the region by the Republic of Ireland and Britain; a federal or confederal arrangement. The report rejected the use of violence to achieve political change in Northern Ireland.
