Best of Today

After Good Friday


Listen Later

A series of events are taking place to mark the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
The Good Friday Agreement ended 30 years of violent conflict in Northern Ireland, known as the Troubles, which cost the lives of more than 3,500 people.
However divisions still persist. Police in Northern Ireland believe dissident republicans will use the anniversary to spark violence and attack officers.
The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) is currently blocking the formation of an executive as part of the party's protest against post-Brexit trading arrangements between the UK and EU.
The BBC’s Martha Kearney spoke to four people who have grown up since the peace agreement.
