Reflecting on 25 years of the Good Friday Agreement and its challenges.

As the Good Friday Agreement marks its 25th anniversary, insiders in the Republic of Ireland regret that the potential of the deal has not been realised, particularly on north-south bodies. The agreement saw the Irish government renounce its constitutional claims to Northern Ireland, with the principle of consent incorporated. However, the lack of a power-sharing government in Northern Ireland has led to concerns that the potential of the deal has not been realised. Additionally, few believe that Northern Ireland will exist in its current form 25 years from now.
