Thursday, 28 October 1993

i23854

This is a full reprint of a speech given by Albert Reynolds on 17 October 1993 for the attention of the British government. The speech was given at the annual Wolfe Tone commemoration, and focusses on the broad theme of Irish unity. The use of violence to achieve unity is disparaged and the PIRA/Loyalist paramilitaries are criticised. The talks process is praised but the pursuit of peace is considered paramount (and indeed the basis for talks). The Irish government position is presented as facilitatory rather than interventionist regarding Northern affairs. The empahsis for the future is put on mutual reconciliation and the accommodation of two traditions.
