My bad. Of course I should have mentioned the two above. They were instrumental.
And Albert Reynolds, he put in the work.. Bertie stuttered and cut the bow

Id give bertie credit, unlike Bruton who had no interest, i heard on rte
radio earlier that in 1998 66% of voters voted SDLP/UUP, now it is reversed,
The british played the normalisation game i.e as time moves on the militants on both sides grow old, drift away and the threat of violence receeds, all things considered life up there now cant be bad at all,
And the main man himself John Hume
Hume who came up with the the power-sharing Sunningdale Agreement, Anglo-Irish Agreement and the Belfast Agreement.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize along with David Trimble.
Hume was a political colossus in the north. Unfortunately anyone who read The Committee or witnessed Trimble and Paisley's triumphalism down the Garvaghy Road know exactly what kind of a creature Trimble is. Trimble wasn't fit to lace Hume's boots but they felt they had to award something to someone on the unionist side to counterbalance that given to Hume who so richly deserved it for all his work.
Hume is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, politicians of my lifetime. Selfless
It will take decades.
Sinn Fein do not want the Norn Iron state to succeed as if it worked people may not want any United Ireland so keep it on the edge of crisis and failure all the time and waffle in about border polls and permanent instability.
The D.U.P will cling limpet like to Britain forever no matter what even if it impoverishes the six counties via Brexit. They are slowly declining and backward and the young people will savage them long term. They are happy to be ruled from Westminster as long as the money keeps rolling in.
Both parties avoid any responsibility but demand votes at election time and as long as they are not slaughtering each other in the street who really cares?
Until they take the teaching of all religions out of schools and back in the home, there will never be peace in the North.
