The accord ends nine months of diplomacy 1973: Sunningdale Agreement signed England have Tripartite talks on Northern Ireland have ended in an historic agreement to set up a Council of Ireland. British Prime Minister Edward Heath, Irish premier Liam Cosgrave, and representatives of the Ulster Unionist Party, the Social Democratic and Labour Party and the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, signed the agreement at Sunningdale, Berkshire. Under the accord, a "Council of Ireland" will be made up of a board of ministers, and a Consultative Assembly. The "Council of Ministers", which will have executive, harmonising and consultative roles, will consist of seven members from the Northern Ireland Executive and seven from the Irish government. And the Consultative Assembly will be made up of 30 members from the Northern Ireland Assembly and an equal number from the Dl. The assembly will have advisory and review functions. The Council of Ireland is aimed at giving the Republic jurisdiction over issues of joint concern with the north. This will curb criticism the power-sharing executive body, founded last month, gave the Dl no powers north of the border. Today's announcement at the Civil Service Staff College at Sunningdale, where the conference has been held, ends four days of tense deliberation. But the road to today's agreement started in March when Secretary of State William Whitelaw sought an end to IRA violence. London proposed an 80-member assembly - with unionist and nationalist representation - to take over the affairs of state. Elections held shortly afterwards resulted in the power-sharing executive established and this announcement is an extension of this. The Council of Ireland is expected to be set up and active from the beginning of next year. The agreement is expected to enrage anti-power sharing parties who were excluded from the talks. A Border Poll in March established popular support for remaining in the UK rather than joining the Republic.

Postmaster General Ernest Marples says posting cards early will ensure prompt delivery 1957: Post Office issues Christmas warning Artificially 1969: The The General Post Office has started its annual campaign urging members of the public to post their Christmas cards early to ensure they arrive on time. At a news conference today the Postmaster General, Ernest Marples, produced some useful advice on present packing and card sending and advised people to "Post early." He told journalists of his own difficulties wrapping parcels with string that broke in his hands. He said that wrapping fell apart on 13,000 parcels at Mount Pleasant sorting office in London last year and asked people to pack carefully with strong string. He also asked people to ensure their handwriting was clear and legible and to print the names of towns in block capitals. He recollected a day he accompanied a Liverpool postman on his rounds as he puzzled over a letter which had writing "as intensely undecipherable as my own". Mr Marples also explained this year was a particular problem as Christmas falls on a Wednesday. This means most people will expect letters posted on the Monday before to arrive on time. But he urged us to "Post early" and send cards "prior to the preceding weekend" before Christmas Day. This will alleviate the massive workload on the Post Office which is bracing itself for a fourfold increase on the usual amount of articles it handles - about 800 million cards, letters and parcels over the Christmas period. It will be spending ?m on extra staff and lorries to deal with the festive rush of letters. Tomorrow is the last day for posting cards to Europe and 12 December is the last date for sending letters to Europe, except to certain parts of Norway.
