On the day before the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, as
anticipation began to mount that a peace deal involving most of the political
parties in Northern Ireland was within sight, this UTV package was broadcast,
showing, through recent archive footage, the journey undertaken by those
involved in the process throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
It remains today a
concise and informative starting point for our collection of archive clips
setting out the road to peace, from before the Downing Street Declaration in
1993 to the setting up of a new devolved government after the Good Friday
Agreement in 1998.
