Forum for Peace and Reconciliation

The Forum for Peace and Reconciliation was established by the Irish government following the IRA cessation of August 1994 to bring together all of the parties on the island in dialogue with each other and with the wider community. Although boycotted by the Unionist parties and the British government, a broad spectrum of groups - political, religious and community - made written presentations to the Forum. It continued to meet in regular session until February 1996 and has met periodically since then.
