Irish Peace Meeting Set

DUBLIN () -- Irish Prime Minister Albert Reynolds, a key player in efforts to end 25 years of conflict in Northern Ireland, agreed Wednesday to meet members of a U.S. peace mission pressing for an indefinite IRA ceasefire.


Reynolds and his deputy, Dick Spring, will meet the Irish-American delegation in Dublin on Thursday. Government sources said they will ask ex-congressman Bruce Morrison and his fellow U.S. intermediaries to convey to the Irish Republican Army's political wing, Sinn Fein, their demands for "a definitive and permanent end to violence."


The IRA is strongly rumored to be considering an open-ended halt to its war against British rule in Northern Ireland to win concessions on a peace formula drawn up last year by Reynolds and his British counterpart, John Major

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
