Major to start talks with Sinn Fein on Northern Ireland peace
Prime Minister John Major announced talks with Sinn Fein, Gerry Adams and the IRA political partners, before year end. He lifted the Sinn Fein visiting Britain ban, will open border crossings, and begin multiparty talks with Protestant gunmen at an appropriate time. The move follows IRA and Protestant cease-fires, with ministers not to join until next year. Sinn Fein’s Martin McGuinness welcomed the development as a step in the right direction. The plan aims to calm sectarian tensions since 1969 while a referendum on Northern Ireland status remains pledged for Britain.
