Description

Bob Huggins reports from Belfast on the reaction of the British and Irish governments to the announcement of the IRA ceasefire in Northern Ireland. The report follows a meeting between Irish Foreign Minister Dick Spring and UK Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Patrick Mayhew at Hillsborough Castle near Lisburn. The gap in interpretation of the wording of the ceasefire between the governments appears to be narrowing. Includes views of Sir Patrick Mayhew; Dick Spring; Albert Reynolds, Irish Taoiseach; Dr John Alderdice, Alliance Party.
