Watching #Agreement25

On 15 August 1998, four months after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, a car bomb killed 31 people and injured 300. But, with the exception of one accomplice, the perpetrators have not been tried and no investigation has yet shed light on the failings of the authorities.

25 years after the Omagh bombing justice is still pending.

Today's the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday agreement for Northern Ireland, and the people I've met during my time in Ireland very much enjoy the freedom of meeting, travelling, trading... This is a freedom which deserves the name, and so I just hope that the peace will remain and not be pushed away again by bad politics.

25 Jahre #GoodFridayagreement Das ist gut. Und Gott sei Dank haben es selbst die #brexit Spinner nicht geschafft, das kaputt zu bekommen. Obwohl sie sich alle Mühe gegeben haben. #ireland

Signatures on the #GoodFridayagreement 10th April 1998. 25th anniversary today. #peaceinIreland #nomoreviolence

In Belfast, the walls between Catholics and Protestants still stand.

Built at the beginning of the civil war, the separations between communities have survived after the Good Friday Agreement treaty that brought peace to Northern Ireland, 25 years ago today.

25 years on, it's clear the #GoodFridayAgreement changed the lives of a generation

But as its instigators knew, peace & reconciliation require constant attention.

The people living in Northern Ireland deserve a functioning Stormont Assembly!

Today is the 25th anniversary of the #GoodFridayAgreement which ended the violence of the Troubles

But now, with the Government attacking everyone's rights and freedoms, it's under threat

Today we remember the #GoodFridayAgreement where peace prevailed when both sides engaged in #dialogue and committed to civil and political rights, despite being in a long-standing conflict.

🕊 25 years ago, the #GoodFridayAgreement brought an end to years of conflict in Northern Ireland.

Celebrating its anniversary reminds us of the importance of dialogue, empathy and solidarity in building lasting peace, both in Europe and around the world. 🇪🇺🌍

Listening to Radio 4 in the car yesterday evening talking about the anniversary of the #GoodFridayAgreement, I had to explain to my kids there was also a woman called #MoMowlam who was instrumental in getting the men to sit around the table…because she didn’t get a mention. And she was not alone in being a woman bringing men together to find common ground - there were many.

"The European Union is the best example in the history of the world of conflict resolution.

Instead of waving flags at one another, or guns and bombs, they worked together for a common interest"

That sounds like the UK government is about to break the #GoodFridayAgreement… #ireland #brexit #tories

The #ECHR protects everyone's rights.

It's not to do with the #EU, but it is essential to the #GoodFridayAgreement and part of the UK's constitution with the #HumanRightsAct. https://t.co/L3HyvSY6os
