As the leader of the Alliance Party during the multi-party talks that led to the Good Friday Agreement, John Alderdice played a pivotal role in the negotiations and subsequently went on to serve as the first Speaker of the new Northern Ireland Assembly.

In this bonus interview, Lord Alderdice reunites with Bertie Ahern to talk about how he approached the negotiations from a cross-party perspective, overcoming the challenges that arose during the talks and why he firmly believes that Northern Ireland is in a much stronger position 25 years later.
