The Taoiseach says the war in Ukraine's a stark reminder we can't take democracy and peace for granted.

In a statement to mark the 24th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, Micheál Martin says it was a "seismic milestone" that must be protected.

The agreement between the Irish and UK government's and Northern Ireland parties was signed on April 10th 1998 and established power-sharing in the north.

But Aontú leader, Peadar Tobin, says the agreement and the peace process are now under threat:

"The UDA and the UVF are active on the ground in the north of Ireland at the moment. We saw a speech which was given by Simon Coveney in Belfast had to be cut short due to a bomb threat. The British government are talking to the UDA and UVF at the moment. The DUP called them stakeholders within the north. And again, nowhere else on the planet would that be tolerable".
