| The Sunningdale Agreement was an attempt to end the Northern Ireland troubles by forcing unionists to share power with nationalists. |
| Talks were held between 6 December and 9 December in the Berkshire town of Sunningdale between the British Prime Minister Edward Heath, the Irish Taoiseach Liam Cosgrave and the three pro-agreement parties. |
| Some twenty-five years after the collapse of Sunningdale, the Good Friday Agreement replicated most of its principles and was famously described as "Sunningdale for slow learners" by SDLP Deputy Leader Seamus Mallon, although the Unionists did not have the veto power they held previously due to demographics, and divided Unionist thinking. |
