Northern Ireland

Asked if there were any words from the meeting with the Taoiseach, the PMOS said that this was primarily a stocktaking exercise. The two Prime Ministers were clearer in their view of where we were going, but there was now further work to be done by officials. To sound a general warning at this stage, the PMOS said that it was a statement of where talks were that the nearer you got to putting together some proposals the less you could say about them. We would be in this position for a little while.

The PMOS added that the two Prime Ministers had taken note of today’s Independent Monitoring Commission (IMC) report, which said that the IRA no longer posed a terrorist threat and that its leadership had instructed it members not to engage in public disorder. We believed that this was further confirmation of what we had said at the time of the last IMC report that the IRA and Sinn Fein were moving in the right direction and we believed that to be very encouraging.
