Pick of the Day
The Agreement, 9.35pm, RTÉ One
Streaming on RTÉ Player
This is a landmark two-part documentary marking the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, presented by Miriam O’Callaghan.
Airing across two consecutive nights on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, The Agreement will examine the intense negotiations leading to the North’s comprehensive political settlement in April 1998 and the critical referendum campaign in the weeks that followed.
It includes interviews with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, US Senator George Mitchell, former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and other key actors in the negotiations.
The documentary takes an in-depth look at the historic negotiations which led to the first island-wide referendum in Ireland since 1918, which was supported by an unprecedented 94% of the Irish electorate and over 70% in the North.
It puts a spotlight on the events that led John Hume and David Trimble to share the Nobel Peace Prize for their work in advocating solutions to end conflict.
Even today aspects of the Good Friday Agreement, such as a potential border poll, are under renewed scrutiny by politicians and people alike.
