Um, Good Friday Agreement, 1998

Thanks!

Meant to add that in earlier tonight when drafting this!

The Agreement provided for the establishment of new institutions, across three “Strands”:

An Assembly and Executive within Northern Ireland to exercise partnership government based on equality (Strand I)

A North/South Ministerial Council to develop co-operation and action within the island of Ireland (Strand II)

A British-Irish Council to promote mutually beneficial East/West relationships. (Strand III)

Other things that happened today:
1867 - George William Russel was born.
1981 Bobby Sands was elected to the House of Commons.
