 Irish leaders talk about their peace
But Mallon, the deputy first minister of the assembly created by Northern Ireland's historic Good Friday Agreement, and David Trimble, the assembly's first minister, told an audience in Oakland yesterday that while they were on a hard road, it was one with no turning back.
Trimble and Mallon -- who Ted Smyth, an H.J. Heinz executive and former Irish diplomat, described as two of the heroes of modern Irish history because of their key roles in the Good Friday Agreement -- were in Pittsburgh as part of a 12-city tour through the United States, promoting investment and economic development.
But Mallon, leader of the Social Democratic Labor Party, while often at odds with Trimble in Irish politics, cautioned that each side's abundant grievances shouldn't be allowed to obscure the larger search for peace.
