Unionists fear 'slippery slope' to united Ireland
Article Abstract:
The joint Anglo-Irish Framework Document and the British government's paper on a new Belfast assembly set out the result of two years of negotiations on the future of Northern Ireland and Anglo-Irish relations. They set down a new political dispensation for Northern Ireland, a move which has already been condemned by Unionists, who had been seeking a majority in a new Belfast assembly which would determine all North-South arrangements.

Could our admiration for the Irish include the Unionists also?
Article Abstract:
It has become extremely fashionable to be Irish. However, the Unionists of Northern Ireland still receive very negative publicity. There are now signs that this situation is beginning to change. Ulster Unionist leaders have for a long time failed to make outsiders understand why Unionists behave as they do, but David Trimble is now actively writing articles and seeking the support of US politicians.

Voices of Ireland in search of peace
Article Abstract:
The UK government has reaffirmed its commitment to all-embracing negotiations to reach a full political settlement in Northern Ireland. This is vital if the ceasefire, which has now lasted for a year, is to bring permanent benefits. All sides involved will have to make many compromises before the current deadlock in the peace talks can be broken.
