Aidan Downes's Good Friday Agreement Collection

Welcome to my exhibit exploring the events of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement through various forms of media. This exhibit covers the monumental signing of the Belfast Agreement between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, in addition to the document’s effects on Ireland and the reactions of people worldwide. The Belfast Agreement is commonly known as the Good Friday Agreement because it was achieved on Good Friday, the 10th of April, 1998. The agreement brought about an era of peace, after decades of violence between Unionists and Loyalists over the question of where Northern Ireland belongs. The agreement saw the creation of a new government in Northern Ireland where Unionists and Loyalists shared power.
