Meeting between John Major and Cardinal Daly. Differences of opinion were expressed over the utility of John Hume's talks with Gerry Adams, and Cardinal Daly noted that Hume was as popular as he had ever been and therefore not necssarily obstructing peace. Cardinal Daly agreed with the Irish government line that peace was more important than continuing the talks, since these relied upon the prospect of peace in the first place. He also noted Hume's influence on Gerry Adams, and the implications for a potential decoupling of Sinn Fein and PIRA. John Major stuck to the line that the Hume proposals were unnacceptable to the Unionists, regardless of their content, because of their republican authorship.
