The following is added here so that if we come to inproving this article, we will have some good sources available easily enough. It reates to a discussion on Talk: Good Friday Agreement.
The article basically says, the GFA was supported on Good Friday 1998 by 8 NI political parties. It currently lists "Labour" as one of them. The question has been raised as to what this "Labour" refers to and should it be there at all. My understanding is the following:
Boston, Massachusetts December 7, 1998] - Another source in the same terms; here it is described as the "Northern Ireland Labour Party" and the leader describes himself as a member of the "Labour movement".
NORTHERN IRELAND OFFICE, CHANGE IN THE NOMINATING REPRESENTATIVE OF A PARTY LISTED IN PART II OF SCHEDULE 1 OF THE NORTHERN IRELAND (ENTRY TO NEGOTIATIONS, ETC) ACT 1996 PUBLISHED UNDER SECTION 5(2) (B) OF THE ACT. Mr. Malachi Curran is the nominating representative for Labour in place of Cllr. Mark Langhammer. The negotiations mentioned in section 1 are the negotiations referred to in Command Paper 3232 presented to Parliament on 16th April 1996.
In summary, "Labour" was, officially (i.e. on paper) still a party when the GFA was concluded; its leader was one of the leaders who endorsed it and as such is recognised as one of the 8 parties that did so. I think this is fairly clear.
I have re-written the article using whatever facts I could source, and removing anything I couldn't. Thanks to Frenchmalawi for providing some useful links. As to the title, it turns out that the title comes from the Socialist Democracy article, which was the sole source when the article was created in January 2006. It does not appear to have been the name of the group. The problem with a title like "Labour (Northern Ireland)" is that it is too generic: it could apply to the whole labour movement in NI over the last two centuries. A further complication is that a number of articles link to "Labour Coalition", and changing that link to something like "Labour in the Northern Ireland peace process" would make those articles quite messy. I propose renaming it as "Labour coalition" (lowercase "c"), which shows that it was a coalition, not a party, but that "Coalition" was not its name. Scolaire ( talk) 10:50, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
