Abstract
April 2023 marked 25 years since the Belfast Good Friday Agreement that brought peace to these islands. But the legacy of violence has left scars. Twenty-five years after the Agreement, we are reminded that peace and reconciliation require ongoing action and a dynamic vision of peace relevant to today.

counties between October 2022-May 2023.
