Meanwhile, prime minister John Major and Taoiseach Albert Reynolds are involved in a series of intensive negotiations to create a framework for peace. Violence escalates with the IRA bombing of a fish shop on Shankill Road and the Loyalist-orchestrated Greysteel Massacre. However, by the end of the year there is the promise of an eventual peace with the publication of the Downing Street Declaration.
