MLA born in 1998 became aware of Good Friday Agreement 'possibly for the wrong reasons'

An MLA born in 1998 has told how he first became aware of the Good Friday Agreement "possibly for the wrong reasons".

Eóin Tennyson said he read the agreement after the DUP had used Stormont's petition of concern to veto a motion in favour of legalising same-sex marriage.

The Alliance MLA said the move in 2015 convinced him of the need to ensure power-sharing structures resulting from the 1998 peace deal were not "turned on their head and abused".
