1. That, in the light of the current national position, this Ard-Fheis instructs the incoming Ard  Chomhairle to prepare a fresh initiative, based on the ÉIRE NUA programme and the Towards a Peaceful Ireland document, which would: (1) address all the Irish people; (2) address the people of  Ulster in particular; and (3) make a special appeal to people of the unionist persuasion.
An address along these lines should be widely circulated, using mail-shots and enclosing copies of the relevant documents, to all elected representatives, church leaders, trade union leaders, media, educational institutions etc.
Ard Chomhairle

Ag éirí as an suíomh náisiúnta fé láthair, tugann an Ard-Fheis seo treoir don Ard-Chomhairle nua tús úr a chur le chéile, a bheádh bunaithe ar an gclar ÉIRE NUA agus ar an doiciméad Bóthar na Síochána. Dhéanfadh sé seo: (1) aghaidh a thúirt ar phobal uile na hÉireann; (2) aghaidh a thúirt go spéisialta ar mhuintir Chúige Uladh; agus (3) achuinge a dhéanamh go príomdha ar an mhuintir a bhfuil dearcadh Aondachtach aca.
Ba chóir aitheasc dá leithéid a scaipeadh go foirleathan, ag baint úsáid as an bpost agus cóipeanna de na doiciméid fé iamh – na hionadaíthe tófa; cinnirí na neaglais, cinnirí na gceard-chumann, na meáin chumarsáide, institiúdí oideachais.
