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.
