Description

Max Cotton looks at the Troubles and political hopes of the last 20-odd years as the widely-leaked much-anticipated document on the future of the peace process for Northern Ireland is released. Includes Jim Molyneaux, leader of the Ulster Unionists speaking in 1981; Margaret Thatcher as PM talking after the Brighton bombing and on signing Anglo Irish agreement with Dr Garret FitzGerald, the then Irish PM; Ian Paisley and a Sinn Fein spokesman. Includes singing and speech for peace in Belfast nearly 20 years ago; archive reportage from pub bombings in the early 1970s.
