Northern Ireland Report, No. 21
Northern Ireland Report was published by an ad hoc group of individuals in the United States who, while close to Sinn Féin, were critical of it, and particularly so during the developing Peace Process. Their position would have been strongly left of centre. One aspect of their goal was to produce a publication which was different from the more conservative leaning publications issued in the US which were sympathetic to Irish republicanism.
