DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) — Fore
seeing a future of permanent peace
in Ireland, Prime Minister Bertie
Ahern yesterday declared his
state’s “irrevocable” commitment
to dropping its territorial claim on
the British-linked north.
Ahern addressed lawmakers in
Dublin hours before the British
government was scheduled to for
mally transfer powers to a new
Protestant-Catholic government for
Northern Ireland.
“With the full political settlement
now about to be implemented, we
have the strongest possible basis for
permanent peace in Ireland, such as
has never before been experienced
in our history,” he said.
Ahern said the Irish Republic’s
1937 constitution would be amend
ed yesterday in keeping with the
Good Friday peace accord of 1998.
The proposed change, over
whelmingly approved by Irish vot
ers last year, drops the definition of
Northern Ireland as “part of the na
tional territory” in favor of pro
claiming hope the north’s British
Protestant majority might one day
seek unification.
"All sides have had to take risks
for peace,” Ahern said. “This is the
risk that we are taking.”

ARUSHA, Tanzania (AP) — Afric

ing in the northern Tanzanian town
of Arusha. Mandela replaces former
Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere,
who died of leukemia in October.
