Ian Paisley
1926-2014
Northern
Ireland’s
firebrand Protestant leader
who vowed never
to compromise
with Irish Catholic nationalists,
then, in his
twilight, accepted
a power-sharing agreement
that envisioned
a new era of peace in Ulster
after decades
of sectarian violence
(...)
The day many
thought
would never come
arrived in
Belfast on May 8, 2007.
Mr. Paisley, founder
of the Democratic Unionist party,
which sought
continued
association with Britain,
and Martin
McGuinness,
a Sinn Fein leader
and former
commander
of the Irish Republican Army,
which had
fought
for a united Ireland,
shook hands and
took oaths
as the leader and deputy leader,
respectively, of Ulster’s
power-sharing government.
As Prime
Ministers
Tony Blair of Britain
and Bertie
Ahern of Ireland
looked on,
the proceedings
ended
British governance
and reinstated
home-rule
in Belfast.
It bridged the
chasm
between
Mr. Paisley and Gerry Adams,
the I.R.A.
leader
who had negotiated
the agreement.
And it
relegated
to the past a civil war,
known as the
Troubles,
that had raged
from the 1960s into the 1990s
and cost 3,700
lives.
