It’s a car journey that will stay indelibly etched in my memory forever. Fifteen years ago today, my then girlfriend , my best pal and I set off from Dublin for the Dingle Peninsula where a group of us had booked a house for the Easter weekend.
The three of us in the car were then in our late twenties. We hadn’t been equally affected by the troubles. Coming respectively from Belfast , Dundalk and Dublin , they obviously had differing impacts on our lives. And while I had been aware of speculation about a peace process, I can still remember the feeling of shock at the realisation that the conflict in the North mightn’t necessarily last forever. That might sound funny now. All wars ultimately end but, back then, after a quarter of a century it was then pretty hard to believe that the troubles would too.
