Description

During a two-day visit to Northern Ireland, John Major spoke in Belfast saying that he was making a "working assumption" that the IRA intended its ceasefire to be permanent. He also announced that exclusion orders on Gerry Adams, then President of Sinn Féin and Martin McGuinness, then Vice-President of Sinn Féin, would be lifted, all border roads would be reopened, and that exploratory talks between the British Government and Sinn Féin would begin before Christmas. Major also promised to review the role of the British Army in Northern Ireland.
