Description | Transcript of an interview with David Trimble, First Minister of Northern Ireland and leader of the UUP, by David Frost for BBC Breakfast with Frost on 6 May 2001. One year earlier the IRA issued a statement declaring its commitment to begin decommissioning. This was met with cautious optimism by David Trimble who received the backing of the Ulster Unionist Council later that month to re-enter power-sharing government with Sinn Fein. In this interview Trimble discusses the lack of substantive progress on the decommissioning issue one year after these events. Breakfast with Frost was a weekly BBC current affairs programme. |
