'Northern Ireland often teeters on the edge of collapse'

Broadcasting House

Available for over a year

Northern Ireland's power-sharing government is on the brink of collapse after Sinn Fein's deputy first minister Martin McGuinness resigned. Journalist Siobhan Fenton grew up in Belfast and was a child when the Good Friday Agreement was signed, which makes her part of the generation dubbed "peace babies". She told Broadcasting House: "I, along with most of my contemporaries, never thought we'd see a time when the institutions could collapse like the dark days our parents remembered." These are her reflections on the latest political crisis to grip Northern Ireland. (Photo: Stormont Parliament building. Credit: AP)
