Irish officials voiced disapproval of several potential candidates for the Anglo-Irish talks chair, highlighting concerns about their legal track records, political affiliations, and personal qualities.
Irish officials expressed negative opinions about several proposed candidates for the Anglo-Irish talks chair. Lord Michael Havers was considered 'bitchy', 'petulant', and 'widely disliked' by the Irish side, despite being described as relaxed and good-humoured. Concerns were raised about his legal reputation, particularly his involvement in the Guildford Four and Maguire Seven cases, where individuals were wrongly convicted.
Lord Robert Lowry faced strong opposition in Dublin due to 'deep suspicion' surrounding his past actions during the Troubles. Merlyn Rees, while seen as warm and likeable, was deemed 'often muddle-headed' and possessed 'unmistakable' unionist sympathies. The Ulster Unionist leader Jim Molyneaux preferred a non-world figure to avoid 'extravagant expectations' for the talks. David Owen was ruled out by the Irish side due to his perceived arrogance, impatience, and difficulty in collaboration.
