Comedian Patrick Kielty provided a moving and very personal perspective on the conflict (in which his father was murdered by paramilitary gunmen) and the significance of the Agreement in the BBC production, My Dad, the Peace Deal and Me (2018); Brian Hill and Niamh Kennedy's The Life After (2018) also focused on the traumatic legacy of the violence for those who lost loved ones during the conflict; while Maurice Sweeney's I, Delours provided a complex and intimate insight into the IRA and its activities through the testimony of former militant activist Dolours Price. Key figures identified in this respect were former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill, Senator Ted Kennedy, Senator Pat Moynihan and New York Governor Hugh Carey, collectively known as "the four horsemen" who lobbied to ensure the Northern Ireland conflict and its resolution would feature high on the political agenda of American Presidents and senior politicians.
