Telefaxed letter from theatre director Richard Eyre, Royal National Theatre, London (UK), to Kilroy. Regretting he is wary of tackling Woyzeck at his theatre, though finding it "an extraordinary piece that somehow prefigures the whole of the 20th century".

Telefax (and copy) signed R. [Robert/'Fred', British government] for [Sinn Féin], reiterating commitment to their 9-paragraph document and necessity for an assurance that violent activity has ceased; stating that [the Secretary of State] is absent for the week - encouraging questions. 'Off the record' stating 'we are appalled at the present mess' and urging them to seek a 'clear answer on timing'. (With caption by [Éamonn Downey] referring to Setting the record straight where the text has been amended.)

Telefax signed by Robert for [ ] (name obliterated); passing on the draft note the final version of which is meant to be sent once the 'local chairman' [Secretary of State] returns - they had discussed it before and following it up may induce movement on both sides. (With handwritten transcript by Éamonn Downey.)

Telefax from Lewis Fastravel, Derry, to Brendan Duddy, regarding travel to Parque Santiago; with handwritten notes by [Brendan Duddy], possibly a draft for a statement, generally expressing need for a fresh start to the dialogue and for an exploration of 'group behaviour' in Northern Ireland. [Probably connected with Duddy's membership of IMUT.] (Caption by [Éamonn Downey] stating that the information sought on travel was for the benefit of 'Fred' who travelled to Parque Santiago in early March 1993, and that Billy and Margaret McC[artney] were there at the same time.)

Telefax of typescript speech delivered by Albert Reynolds TD at University College, Cork, on the same date, entitled 'Peace process - where to now', regretting the stalling of the talks due to the forthcoming parliamentary elections in Britain and Ireland, and due to the insistence on decommissioning which had not formerly been a pre-condition for entry into talks.

Telefax message from Eddie Armstrong, Royal Ulster Constabulary, Strand Road, Londonderry, to Brendan Duddy, with a handwritten list of c.45 RUC officers and dates [of death], listed chronologically from Constable R.F. Leslie (18 September 1971) to Constable G.W. Pollock (20 April 1994).

Telefax typescript letter signed by Eberhard Spiecker, barrister/ notary, Duisburg, Germany, to Albert Reynolds TD, Dáil Éireann: his wish concerning Róisín McAliskey was passed on to the Federal Chancellor; Spiecker has doubts that the talks organised for tomorrow with a representative of Sinn Féin will bring a solution. Quoting from an earlier correspondence he sent to Sinn Féin, regarding the IRA's position paper, and in particular three points that need addressing in the case of a new ceasefire (political prisoners abroad, emergency legislation, policing), but also decommissioning and an amnesty for prisoners. (This is the original telefax; marked 'private and confidential'.)

Telefax (1 p) and copy from 'R[obert]' to [Brendan Duddy] with a personal message for passing on to 'Mr Campbell' [Martin McGuinness]. Regretting the failure so far of his 'Board' to respond to 'your brave and straightforward offer'. The 'national chairman' [Secretary of State for Northern Ireland] has not been able to justify an affirmative reply. Assuring him that although their wheels turn too slowly, there is goodwill on both sides; advising against setting a deadline. (With a caption by [Éamonn Downey], referring to The Observer (5 December 1993) calling this the third 'Banking Message', and also referring to Sinn Féin's Setting the record straight .)

Telefax from [British government] to [Sinn Féin] confirming that the main problem had been the order of events. (With caption from [Éamonn Downey] referring to Setting the record straight where the item was dated 6 May.)
