More work should have gone into addressing the legacy of the Northern Ireland Troubles when the Good Friday Agreement was signed, former taoiseach Bertie Ahern has said.

Mr Ahern said the legacy issue was still outstanding 25 years on from the historic peace deal, with new generations seeking answers about victims of violence.
