 ::Trimble knew several of the group's leading figures including [[Gary Kent]], a parliamentary researcher for the Labour MP [[Harry Barnes]] who had had a long interest in Northern Ireland affairs. Kent had organised several fringe meetings on Ulster at Labour conferences, to which speakers from the [[Orange Order]], the [[Ulster Unionist Party]] and even the parties connected to loyalist paramilitaries had been invited. His aim had been to present the other side of the Northern Ireland story to counter the dominance of the pro-republican/nationalist tendency within Labour. However, until 1996 no Unionist leader had ever spoken at a Labour conference.<ref>Trimble, by Henry McDonald, Bloomsbury, 2000, p174.</ref>

 ::I was met at the other side by a contact of [[Liam Clarke]]'s on the [[Sunday Times]]. He drove me to a pre-arranged lunch date with [[Ruth Dudley Edwards|Ruth]] and two friends, one of whom had instigated my writing for [[the Spectator|The Spectator]] while I was in jail, and the other of whom, [[Gary Kent]], had visited and kept in contact during the last two years. Gary is heavily involved in a cross-party peace group called [[New Dialogue]], which has made a tremendous contribution to combating terrorism and promoting a peace in Ireland based on reality and not wishful thinking.<ref>The Informer, by Sean O'Callaghan, Corgi 1999, p405.</ref>
