It is my birthday and I am 73 years old. ” It is now seven years since I made the first of the recordings which have been transcribed and edited to make the text of this book. I was persuaded to make these recordings by my friend, the art historian, Joseph Darracott. We had been friends for over forty years and finally I accepted that the project which he was proposing might be feasible and would be worth attempting. And so, in talking about my life as a painter, I applied myself to the discipline of working from a list of questions which had been prepared by Joseph. During our initial discussions about the book Joseph misunderstood my idea, which was to engage in a live dialogue with the cut and thrust of question and answer. The task of responding to questions which had been typed up in advance became much more difficult to deal with because an exercise such as this lacked the kind of stimulus which a live dialogue would have given to it.

Adopted in 1998, the Good Friday Agreement has managed to curb hostilities, though sporadic violence still occurs and antagonism remains pervasive between many Nationalists and Unionists. Strong political bargaining through back-channel negotiations and facilitation from international and third-party interlocutors all contributed to what is today referred to as Northern Ireland’s peace process and the resulting Good Friday Agreement. Although the Northern Ireland peace process and the Good Friday Agreement are often touted as a model of conflict resolution for other intractable conflicts in the world, the implementation of the Agreement has proven to be challenging.

  • Monitoring the Peace? : Northern Ireland's 1975 Ceasefire Incident Centres and the Politicisation of Sinn Féin
    Dr Tony Craig March 2013 [email protected] Monitoring the Peace? : Northern Ireland’s 1975 ceasefire incident centres and the politicisation of Sinn Féin. During the Provisional IRA’s (PIRA) 1975 ceasefire, two different sets of incident centres were established across Northern Ireland in order to monitor and avert escalation of violence between Republicans and Security Forces. While one group of these offices were run by the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) and administered by clerks in the Northern Ireland Civil Service, very quickly Sinn Féin (taking advantage of their decriminalisation in 1974) established their own incident centres to coordinate their communication with the government. This article argues that the establishment of the Sinn Féin incident centres set a precedent for the future political activity of the Provisional Republican Movement; that their activity during the 1975 ceasefire played an important formative role in the evolution of the group’s political strategy; and that this experience, acquired from the work done during the 1975 truce, was of far greater influence than is appreciated in current accounts. The period surrounding the PIRA’s 1975 ceasefire has recently become the site of a large amount of new research due in equal measure to the availability of new archive resources1 as well as the rich comparisons that can be drawn between this failed ceasefire and the PIRA’s later attempts in 1994 and 1996.2 The emphasis of the new studies has often been to look in detail at the talks between the British Government

  • 1 an Interview with Danny Morrison Interviewer: John F. Morrison1
    An Interview with Danny Morrison Interviewer: John F. Morrison1 Biography: This interview took place in the home of Danny Morrison, in west Belfast in March 2015. While no longer a prominent figure in Sinn Féin, during the Troubles alongside Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness he was one of the most recognisable faces of the republican leadership of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The former Provisional IRA prisoner was the Director of Publicity for Sinn Féin and was the founding editor of An Phoblacht/Republican News. For many he is best known for promoting the dual paramilitary and political strategy of ‘the armalite and the ballot box.’ 2 Context: In the immediate aftermath of the interview, it was announced by Sinn Féin was going to oppose the passage of the welfare bill in the Northern Assembly.3 While this was a key issue, which almost brought down the Stormont Assembly, the interviewer, and possibly the interviewee, was not aware of it at the time of the interview. Two days prior to the interview, the 2015 Sinn Féin ard fheis (annual conference) had finished in Derry. Throughout the ard fheis, various delegates outlined the party’s plans to mark the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising. However, while the party was celebrating their past achievements and future plans, they were once again being accused of involvement in criminality. The family of Paul Quinn, murdered in Cullyhanna in 2007, once again accused the Provisional Movement of being responsible for his death, a claim rejected by the party’s leadership.4 John Morrison: I was wondering if you would be able to give your assessment on the relevance to you as an individual of the centenary of the 1916 Rising, also how you feel it is relevant for the overall Republican Movement as well.

  • From Backdoors and Back Lanes to Backchannels: Reappraising British Talks
    Dr Tony Craig March 2011 [email protected] From backdoors and back lanes to backchannels: Reappraising British talks with the Provisional IRA, 1970-1974. Abstract Following the outbreak of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the British Government established an office dedicated to gathering the views of political groups there, below the level of the state. By the end of 1971, the Office of the UK Representative (UKREP) was actively seeking contacts that would allow them to communicate with the Provisional IRA. By looking at the numerous other contacts, conduits and intermediaries that existed (however temporarily) before the 1975 ceasefire, this article illustrates an almost continuous conversation between the Office of the UK Representative (UKREP) and the IRA. It also demonstrates that these contacts were centred around Dáithí Ó Conaill (then Sinn Fein Vice President), and that these contacts, when taken as a whole, can better explain the events which culminated in the 1975 ceasefire. Keywords: Northern Ireland, Peace talks, Intelligence, Negotiation, Terrorism, Diplomacy Introduction ‘The Talks at Feakle came out of the blue for us in the British government. Ever since 1969 when the army took over security in Northern Ireland, there had been ad hoc street contacts between the army and paramilitaries on both sides of the divide, and from the time I had taken office in March 1974 I was being advised that, according to community workers, businessmen and journalists, the Provisional IRA were in a mood to move from violence. Nevertheless, I was always sceptical and remained so when in November I was told of some sort of approach being made by the Provisional IRA.’1 1 Dr Tony Craig March 2011 [email protected] The above extract from Secretary of State Merlyn Rees’s memoir of his time in Northern Ireland is both strangely evasive and contradictory.

She retired in 1978 though the gallery has continued under different aegis. In 1981 she was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Leeds and in the summer of 1984 through the timely intervention of Mr Stephen Chaplin of the University's Department of Fine Art, she most kindly agreed to give the accumulated archive of her galleries up to the date of her retirement to the Brotherton Library.

  • Creating Political Oxygen to Break the Cycle of Violence 1981-1994: Lessons from the Northern Ireland Peace Process
    In: IFSH (ed.), OSCE Yearbook 2016, Baden-Baden 2017, pp. 165-181. Geoffrey Corry/Pat Hynes/Kieran Doyle Creating Political Oxygen to Break the Cycle of Violence 1981-1994: Lessons from the Northern Ireland Peace Process Foreword Established in 2012, the Edward M. Kennedy Institute honours the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy for his lifelong commitment to justice, equality, human rights, education for all, and environmental protection, and in par- ticular for his contribution to the Northern Ireland peace process. The Ken- nedy Institute represents Ireland in the OSCE Network of Think Tanks and Academic Institutions. This paper considers the dynamics of the process used in creating the political conditions to bring about the end of political violence in Northern Ireland in the period from the IRA hunger strike in 1981 to the IRA and Loyalist ceasefires in 1994. It explains some of the key concepts that were forged in the intense political back-channel pre-negotiations that eventually culminated in opening the door to peace talks. It also shows the crucial role that third parties can play in building the capacity for parties to understand each other and create a peace-process architecture. It is becoming increasingly clear to those in diplomatic circles that con- flicts between civil, religious, or ethnic groups, however long or intense, have no real security or military solutions. The use of greater force against one or other group is a mistake often made by policy-makers in the belief that it will quell the violence and restore both order and security to the situation.
