The Labour Party is to launch a programme to educate its members on the Good Friday Agreement and the party’s “proud role” in helping to deliver peace to Northern Ireland. Signed in 1998, the landmark accord ended decades of conflict and laid the foundations of the power-sharing Executive we see today. The programme has been developed by academic Jon Tonge and the Labour Party Irish Society and will tell the story of the peace process, the role of woman and the trade union movement, and what it means to the new generation of young people here. Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary Louise Haigh said that, alongside the NHS, the Equal Pay Act and the National Minimum Wage, the Good Friday Agreement is one of Labour’s “proudest achievements”.
