On This Day: Good Friday Agreement

Throughout his administration, President Clinton was deeply involved in the peace-making process in Northern Ireland. On April 10, 1998, after several years, the Good Friday Agreement was signed with overwhelming public support, ending the conflict in Northern Ireland and establishing a Northern Ireland Assembly.
One month later, in May 1998, Ireland approved the Good Friday Agreement with an overwhelming vote of support - including 71 percent in support of the Agreement in Northern Ireland, and 94 percent in support in the Irish Republic.
