Extract from a Joint Statement by John Hume and Gerry Adams Reprinted in the Irish Times

Monday, 26 April 1993

i22769

This statement by Hume and Adams responds to media coverage of a meeting betwen the pair on 10th April 1993. It outlines the purpose of that meeting and what was discussed. They key points include: a shared commitment to lasting peace, an assertion that they negotiated as leaders of their parties rather than intermediaries within the British/Irish framework, a commitment to strive for a new agreement on the issue of self-determination that accounts for the diversity of views on the matter (not least between the SDLP and Sinn Féin). Some lines are obscured in the scan but have been rewritten in the margins by hand.
