Ms O'Donnell mentioned the huge strain on David Trimble. Another individual under great strain was Mo Mowlam, who had been diagnosed with brain cancer beforehand. I do not know whether it was public knowledge at that stage or not. It was the tabloid media in the UK that ended up revealing it, but I am not certain whether it was public knowledge during the negotiations or not. Will Ms O'Donnell give us an outline of working alongside Mo Mowlam?
