<p>On 17 Oct 2020, the <em>Liverpool Irish Festival </em>led a <em>Zoom </em>interview between Patrick Kilety and two <em>Commission For Victims and Survivors Forum</em> members, Paul McCormac and Alan Brecknell. The <em>#LIF2020 </em>event was set up to consider reconciliation and what still needs to happen to assist community recovery following the Good Friday Agreement and the Troubles which led to its development.</p> <p>This recording, is of that event. It is not remastered or edited, but is a document of what was said that day. It is not a professional recording and is offered simply for those who were not able to attend to hear what happened there. It is a bit scrappy, relying as it did on individual devices and connections, but it is representative of people's experiences and histories.&nbsp;</p> <p>Trigger warning: it is at times challenging, dealing as it does with the deaths of love ones. The Troubles saw over 3,700 people die and 40,000 people injured and traumatised. For some their stories may already have vanished from view, but these -at least- have not fallen by the wayside.</p> <p>Not passing violence on to future generations is at the heart of the debate and there is a lot of hope to be found in understanding reconciliation and how society can build peace.</p> <p>We hope you find it an interesting listen.&nbsp;</p> <p>The <em>LIverpool Irish Festival </em>gratefully acknowledges the funding it received from the Irish Government's <em>Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade</em>'s <em>Reconciliation Fund </em>to mount this event, held in partnership with the<em> Commission for Victims and Survivors</em> as part of #LIF2020.</p>
