Conservative/DUP Coalition

I've been hearing that the incoming Tory/DUP coalition UK government in some way violates the Good Friday Agreement. I don't have any sources for this claim yet, but there's a bit of chatter on Twitter. Worth keeping an eye on. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:20, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

As far as I can see it is in Sinn Féin's interest as well - including Sinn Féin abstaining - so that the problem about the border is dealt with properly by the government in the Brexit negotiations. So I don't think they'll object very hard if at all. Dmcq (talk) 09:14, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Might I just add that I seem to have been an eejit writing that. The DUP are more interested in sticking one in the eye to nationalists than anything about the good of Northern Ireland. Dmcq (talk) 09:41, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Current effects of the Good Friday Agreement

I think this page needs more emphasis on the Good Friday Agreement's effect on Brexit in terms of moving towards reunification. Brexit debates often discuss where a hard border should be implemented. This has ignited talk of reunification because any type of border goes against the agreement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tunafish99 (talk • contribs) 16:18, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

"British-Irish Agreement" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect British-Irish Agreement. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. TheAwesomeHwyh 19:48, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Republic of Ireland

The correct term for the country is "Ireland" not the "Republic of Ireland". The name was changed in 1937. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dark archeus (talk • contribs) 12:58, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

The article on the state is at Republic of Ireland after A LOT of discussion over the years and on matters relating to north clarity between the state and the island is needed more than just about anywhere else. Timrollpickering (Talk) 13:40, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Loyalist withdrawal

Loyalist groups have recently withdrawn from the agreement. Should this be a new section or go under the Brexit section? Jh2684 (talk) 09:48, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

"The Good Friday Agreement (GFA), which contains the Multi-Party Belfast Agreement (as Annex 1) "

This version is simply incorrect, as the direct link provided in the text says, The Belfast Agreement, also known as the Good Friday Agreement. FDW777 (talk) 22:44, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

"The Good Friday Agreement and the Belfast Agreement are not the same. The Good Friday Agreement contains text which refers to items such as the European Union, European Court of Justice and Irish Lanuage rights. The Belfast Agreement is wrongly described on the UK Government website as being the same. This can easily be identified by comparing the documents on the UN website with that on the UK Government Website." is made up nonsense.

• Good Friday Agreement, also called Belfast Agreement
• The Good Friday Agreement, The Belfast Agreement. An agreement that can't even agree on its own name - the irony.
• Twenty years later, most of the Belfast Agreement—usually called the Good Friday Agreement
• The Belfast Agreement is also known as the Good Friday Agreement

Please stop advancing this fringe theory that the GFA and Belfast Agreement are not two names for the exact same thing. FDW777 (talk) 23:07, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

External Links - GFA full text

The UN Peacemaker site, which used to be the source of the link to the GFA full text is down, so I have replaced it with a link from the Northern Ireland Office.

Anyway, it is also available from the Irish foreign ministry at: Microsoft Word - Document1 (dfa.ie). Same text, so not put it here also. Nordrhein-Westfalen-CanlntoSpace (talk) 23:51, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

The negotiation of the GFA

I came here looking for a detailed account of the negotiations that led to the implementatio of the GFA, but could find neither that nor a linke to where it might be found. Is there such a thing? If not, could we not do with one? Cooke (talk) 13:31, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

It's included in The Troubles#1990s, but not in great detail. Northern Ireland peace process gives a timeline, but in a list format. I think a detailed account would add to this article. Scolaire (talk) 17:01, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
