Lord David Trimble , former Ulster Unionist Party Leader speaks during a press conference at Queen's University Belfast, Tuesday, April 10th, 2018. Tuesday marks 20 years since politicians from Northern Ireland and the British and Irish governments agreed what became known as the Good Friday Agreement. It was the culmination of a peace process which sought to end 30 years of the Troubles. Two decades on, the Northern Ireland Assembly is suspended in a bitter atmosphere between the two main parties.
The Good Friday Agreement or Belfast Agreement was a major political development in the Northern Ireland peace process of the 1990s. Northern Ireland's present devolved system of government is based on the agreement. The agreement also created a number of institutions between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom.
