THE document presented to the parties early yesterday morning covered the full range of issues addressed during the past nine weeks of negotiations.
However, it has been suggested that elements of the draft deal were light on detail.
Entitled 'Paper for the Parties - a draft agreement at Stormont', the 18-page document is divided into seven sections, dealing with topics including finance and welfare, flags and identity and reform of the devolved institutions.
The parts dealing with the issues of flags, parades and the past largely mirror the proposals put forward by Richard Haass and Meghan O'Sullivan a year ago when they failed to get the support of unionists and the British government.
They include proposals for a commission on flags and cultural identity, a historical investigations unit and devolving parading powers.
According to Taoiseach Enda Kenny, the document also included "recognition of the Irish language".
But Sinn Féin said the document "fell well short" of proposing an Irish language act. "We are disappointed that the taoiseach had not backed the commitment given at
St Andrews for an Irish language act and had instead settled for some vague notion of recognition," a spokesman said.
The financial package tabled by David Cameron was presented separately.
