Article: The tenth anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement offers an opportunity of examining how far Northern Ireland has come – and how far it has yet to go (part of an OK trilogy)

Conn Corrigan (New York, Columbia School of Journalism): Last month, I visited Northern Ireland for a few days. A friend, who has been there many times during the Troubles, remembered a time when our hotel, the Europa (apparently the most bombed hotel in Europe), had metal detectors inside and sandbags outside. During the Troubles, this hotel was a favourite location for the many journalists sent to cover the conflict - but when we were there, the only people who caught the eye were a group of teenagers in the bar, getting their picture taken with Basshunter, a Swedish DJ who was in town for a concert.
