Hello everyone, welcome to Pant suit Politics.

We have a very special episode for you today on Good Friday.

April 10th marks the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement,

also known as the Bill Fast Agreement.

And today we have two very special guests to help us mark this occasion,

Ambassador Swani Hunt and Monica McWilliams who participated in the Good Friday Peace Agreement.

We had a wonderful and fascinating conversation with these two women and we can't wait to share

it with you in today's episode. Before we get started, we are having wonderful, fascinating

conversations among ourselves about succession. Over on our premium channels, it is in the more

to say feed. We would love for you to join us either on Patreon or Apple Podcast subscriptions.

The show is fascinating. It speaks to so much in our current politics and media and culture.

And so please join in the conversation. Up next are conversation around the Good Friday Agreement.

So 25 years ago, the Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998 and marked the end of a 30-year period

of conflict in Northern Ireland that's often referred to as the Troubles.

We want to talk about some of the history of that agreement and its continued relevance.

We'll get into more detail about all of this. But if you don't know anything else,

you'll want to know that this agreement was negotiated by a multi-party group. People were

elected to get involved in this process. There were people brought in from other nations to help

facilitate the process. And the goal was to create a sense of peace around the relationship

that Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK had with each other.
