Anglo-Irish Agreement
Treaty between Ireland and the United Kingdom seeking to end The Troubles in Northern Ireland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty or the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.
The Anglo-Irish Agreement was a 1985 treaty between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland which aimed to help bring an end to the Troubles in Northern Ireland.[1] The treaty gave the Irish government an advisory role in Northern Ireland's government while confirming that there would be no change in the constitutional position of Northern Ireland unless a majority of its citizens agreed to join the Republic. It also set out conditions for the establishment of a devolved consensus government in the region.
