Stephen Sackur speaks to Geraldine Finucane, whose husband, a Belfast solicitor, was murdered by loyalist paramilitaries 25 years ago.

The de facto war between the IRA and the British state is over, but a legacy of bitterness remains. HARDtalk speaks to Geraldine Finucane, whose husband Pat, a Catholic lawyer, was murdered by loyalist paramilitaries 25 years ago.

But for the greater good of Northern Ireland, is it time to move on?
