The Good Friday Agreement - a reunion
The deal brought an end to 30 years of conflict in Northern Ireland, known as the Troubles. It has shaped almost every aspect of life in the country ever since.
On 10th April 1998 a peace deal was signed in Belfast. It would largely end the conflict in Northern Ireland - known as the Troubles - that had gone on for 30 years and left thousands dead. The Good Friday Agreement brought about power-sharing in Northern Ireland. The political party linked to the IRA 鈥� Sinn F茅in 鈥� eventually went into government with politicians on the other side of the divided community. Since then the agreement has touched on every aspect of life in Northern Ireland.
The peace process was a huge topic of conversation at schools across the country, including Sullivan Upper where pupils discussed it in class and debated it at the current affairs society. For 5 Minutes On, the 成人快手鈥檚 Correspondent in Belfast - and former Sullivan Upper pupil, Chris Page, meets up with a group of his former school friends to share their memories of that critical period in history.
