Rory Duffy
A Fragile Peace: Brexit and Northern Ireland
The island of Ireland is facing a moment of terrible instability. In 1998, the Good Friday Agreement was signed, putting an end to the thirty-year conflict known as The Troubles, and ushering in a springtime of peace. A peace which is now threatened by the specter of Brexit. When the UK leaves the EU, the only land border between the two powers will be on the island of Ireland, running along a wound which has barely healed.
A Fragile Peace: Brexit and Northern Ireland follows three people from Northern Ireland as they try to maintain peace in this politically uncertain time.
