Peace is the work of generations. The Anglo-Irish Agreement 1985 was a pivotal moment in the Northern Ireland peace process, leading to the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 and the years of implementation since then. In the words of WB Yeats, “Peace comes dropping slow.”
This week, 40 years ago, the Anglo-Irish Agreement was signed. A landmark moment that laid the foundations of peace in Northern Ireland & a historic new era of British-Irish relations, one defined by a spirit of cooperation & respect across these islands on our path to peace.
