About this episode
The seismic Good Friday Agreement brought Northern Ireland's long period of violence to an end.

It set out fundamental rights for the people of Northern Ireland about identity and citizenship. It set out in law that people from both Catholic and Protestant communities had equal rights after decades of discrimination.

But did the Good Friday Agreement achieve everything it set out to?

On its 25th anniversary, Sky's senior Ireland correspondent David Blevins and political journalist Aoife Moore are in Belfast to examine the legacy of the historic deal on the Sky News Daily.

Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse
