April marks 25 years since the Belfast or Good Friday Agreement was reached, ending the Troubles and establishing a new political arrangement on the island of Ireland.

But today the institutions that were set up back in 1998 are in crisis.

  • The events that led up to the deal and the role of John Hume
  • The impact of the Agreement on the evolution of Sinn Féin
  • How Brexit trampled on the ideas underpinning the Agreement
  • The future of the powersharing institutions and how Northern Ireland has moved on
