Intense efforts were made by both Governments in the latter half of 2004 to broker an agreement on the key issues to be resolved to finally and definitively assure peace and political stability in Northern Ireland. The Governments communicated their final proposals for a comprehensive agreement, addressing these key issues, to the DUP and Sinn Féin in early December 2004. The Taoiseach received a letter on 7 December from Sinn Féin in which they indicated that they could agree to the political package contained in the proposals of the two Governments.
