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

May only be reproduced with the written permission of the Director of the National Archives. CONFIDENTIAL 1. I met Fr. Alec Reid and the Rev. John Young at Clonard Monastery in Belfast on 18 February 1977 to find out what, if anything, had emerged from talks they might have been engaged in since their meeting with the Minister for Foreign Affairs on 21 January. (Fr. Desmond Wilson was out of Belfast for the day but the two I met said that he was still involved with them in all talks.) 2. Since 21 January, they had had further talks with the NIO, Provisionals and loyalist para-militaries, mainly the UDA and the ULCCC. As far as the loyalist para-militaries were concerned, the clergymen felt that they were not a major obstacle to peace at this stage. Whatever activity they were involved in was limited and was a reaction to Provisional violence. If the latter stopped, loyalist para-militaries would be prepared to sit down and talk to anyone. There might be problems if loyalist politicians moved in a direction unacceptable to the para-militaries but since the politicians were inclined to tougher and more rigid positions than the para-militaries, a major difference of opinion was unlikely. The Rev. Young, in particular, was inclined to be dismissive of the threat to the minority in east Ulster from loyalists and said that he found it offensive to hear Dublin politicians talk about this threat as if it were a major factor in the situation.

That is the core question of this piece. Discussions of military professionalism have spread to the state military from civilian professions such as education, medicine and law. This piece examines whether non-state actors exhibit the same fundamental processes found within these state-based organisations. These fundamentals are the creation of a recognised internal ethos, which acts as collective standard for those involved. A commitment to expertise and the punishment of those who do not reach these collective expectations reinforces this ethos. To answer this question, this piece will examine the development of the Provisional IRA during the Troubles. It will highlight consistencies and inconsistencies with traditional forces and will argue that groups like the Provisional IRA can professionalise and increase their effectiveness in doing so.

  • 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.
