Description

The Provisional IRA end their ceasefire in spectacular fashion, and the scale of the bomb detonated in the middle of Canary Wharf sparks renewed attempts to end the Troubles. Britain and Ireland have new Prime Ministers, who share a personal connection and a desire to get an agreement over the line, fast. And.. behind closed doors, Monica McWilliams is forging connections with Sinn Fein’s women, and Labour Minister Paul Murphy is having fish and chips with Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness. The stage is set for an historic peace agreement.
