The Power-Sharing Executive and the Sunningdale Agreement,1973-74
This was proposed by Northern Ireland Secretary William Whitelaw inconsultation with the main Northern Ireland parties.
• A new Assembly was elected to govern Northern Ireland.
• The main parties in the Assembly were represented on a Power-Sharing Executive (a government which would guarantee to share power between nationalist and unionist communities).
• A Council for Ireland was set up which would link Belfast, Dublin and London over issues of concern to all of them. (Details of this Council were worked out between the Northern Ireland parties and the British and Irish governments in the Sunningdale Agreement of December 1973.)
