Inter-party talks were launched by the Secretary of State, Peter Brooke, in January 1990. These continued after the 1992 British general election under Sir Patrick Mayhew. See David Bloomfield, Political Dialogue in Northern Ireland: The Brooke Initiative, 1989–1992 (London: Macmillan, 1998). 3. The Agreement was unofficially dubbed the ‘Good Friday Agreement’ because it was signed on Good Friday, two days before Easter Sunday. However, the Agreement is also referred to as the ‘Belfast Agreement’ because it was signed in Belfast. The official document is simply titled ‘The Agreement’. 4.

In developing our list, we eliminated anyone who currently holds elected office, as well as the Judiciary. This precludes some people, Assemblyman/Democratic State Chairman Joe Cryan, for example. We also eliminated the living former Governors, United States Senators, and, of course, Bill Gormley: we believe this particular group remains highly influential and well-respected. This is an Insiders List. We looked at policy makers, party leaders, fundraisers, lobbyists, labor unions, businesses, and associations and have assembled the ultimate list of New Jerseyans with clout, with an impact on politics and government in the Garden State. We selected names based on a fairly unscientific curve: we allocated spaces on this list for a dozen different categories within the New Jersey political community -- so #11 on the list of important fundraisers or donors doesn’t make the list, but the most influential congressional staffer does.
