David Trimble, the province's designated first minister in a devolved government, was warmly praised in both Britain and the Irish Republic for having won the agreement Saturday of 58 percent of his Ulster Unionist Party to share power with republican Sinn Fein, its traditional enemy.
In London, the left-wing tabloid Daily Mirror said that Trimble, the first minister-designate of a new devolved Northern Ireland government (which was supposed to have been formed, but wasn't, at Thursday's chaotic inaugural meeting of the provincial parliament in Belfast), should give his prize back to the Swedes.
The Unionists, led by David Trimble, had previously refused to take part in the government until the IRA had disarmed.
"What David Trimble begged of John Hume, and what every moderate Ulster unionist wanted of him too, was that in the name of democracy he would stand by the Ulster Unionist Party and refuse to sit in government with the agents of armed paramilitaries," she wrote.
The Irish Times , another Dublin newspaper, said in an editorial headlined "The courage of Mr Trimble" that "[t]he Belfast Agreement may yet resonate in the collective memory of our children as a great imaginative departure and a creative compromise between traditionally antagonistic forces."
