Fame

Not to be overlooked, says the Irish Times’ Dennis Staunton, is the role of the United States in acting as an honest broker among former belligerents: “The most important single decision that the United States made was in 1994, when former President Bill Clinton agreed to allow Gerry Adams – the leader of Sinn Fein, the political wing of the Irish Republican Army, IRA -- the Irish Catholic armed struggle force -- to visit the United States.

Work
Gerry Adams and Ian Paisley have long appeared the irreconcilable hard men of the province's fraught politics. Mr Adams is the president of Sinn Fein, a party born as the political wing of the IRA, which sought to smash the union with Britain through terrorism. Mr Paisley, who leads the DUP, the largest unionist party, is an 80-year-old Protestant cleric who has spent his life denouncing the very idea of a rapprochement with republican leaders like Mr Adams.
