Description

Sinn Féin publicly released documents that provided details of the party's secret talks with the British government. These revealed differences from those released later that day by Patrick Mayhew in Commons. Martin McGuinness, then Vice-President of Sinn Féin, said that the message of the 22 February 1993 was a fake and he accused the British of "counterfeiting their own documents to meet their current needs".
