The former Sinn Fein leader, Gerry Adams, said countless lives had been saved by the Good Friday agreement, as he addressed a ceremony at Stormont to mark the 25th anniversary of the peace deal.

He said:

The last 25 years have been up and down, and there have been many twists and turns, but one thing is for certain: we are all in a better place. Despite current challenges, the future is bright.

If you doubt that, think of the countless lives that have been saved or reflect on events in other parts of the world at this time. We have a lot to be thankful for and we have a lot to do.

In those days we made extraordinary progress, not least because we didn't focus all the time on constitutions and institutions and procedures.

What we did do was to try and deal with the disturbed historic relations between our communities and make sure we found ways of relating to each other.
