Description

John Bruton, then Taoiseach, proposed to the Daíl in Dublin that the state of emergency (declared in the Republic in 1939 and renewed in 1976) should be lifted. The proposal was accepted. Dick Spring, then Tánaiste, called on the British government to limit or repeal its emergency legislation.
