One of the key negotiators in the Good Friday Agreement has said that the sight of grown men crying when agreement was reached showed how significant the occasion was.
Monica McWilliams admitted that she was trying to stop herself from getting upset when the 1998 agreement was settled because she was worried she would be judged as a woman.
Ms McWilliams co-founded the Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition in 1996 and later became a delegate in the peace talks.
