Jamie Dornan has described feeling emotional at the end of Derry Girls, as well as his frustration at the "shambles" at Stormont.
He admitted sending the "soppiest text message" to its writer Lisa McGee after watching the final episode of the hit series - which captures the sense of hope in 1998 at the signing of the Belfast Agreement following decades of violence.
Appearing at an Our Place In Space event at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast to talk about integrated education, Dornan also hit out at the current impasse at Stormont.
