And teachers have rejected a pay offer from the government. Just how distant is a deal to end public sector strikes? PLUS: In praise of politicians, and politics. This weekend is the 25th anniversary of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. How was the historic deal reached, what is its legacy, and what might happen next in Northern Ireland?
