Peace institute draws on North’s experiences

A NEW booklet published by the Limerick-based Irish Peace Institute is to be sent to groups around the world involved in conflict to help cultivate reconciliation.

The booklet is the first of a series of six which set out to explore Irish and international experiences of negotiations for political settlements to conflict.

Dr Matt Cannon of the peace institute, who has compiled the booklets, has drawn on the experiences of such figures as Senator George Mitchell, John Hume and David Trimble.
