Just like previous attempts to bring peace to Northern Ireland
The Good Friday Agreement has been a failure and the problems are still
Impossible to over come. Do you agree?
In this essay I am going to start by looking at two previous attempts at peace. The breakthroughs, which led up to the Good Friday agreement. What the aims of the Good Friday agreement (short term and long term). The developments since the Good Friday Agreement and the problems that still exist.
Here I am going to write about two previous attempts at peace the first one I am going to look at is ‘ The Anglo-Irish Agreement’ in 1985 the British singed this with the Republic. This set up a joint committee of two governments to discuss such matters as the security forces, justice and the law in Ulster. They hoped to find ways to persuade Unionists and Nationalists to respect each other’s rights and views. This was a failure Unionists resigned seats, strike and has demos and violent clashes with RUC.
