Conclusion
Part 1
Over fifty years on from Sunningdale and the seismic events of the strike of 1974 what sort of resonance remains in the collective memory? Is there any overlap with contemporary debates? Or does the 1974 turning point simply go to show just how much the context in Northern Ireland has changed?
Part 2
This final set of testimonies brings together our interviewees’ concluding thoughts on how they would summarise their recollections and understanding of the 1974 strike. Each was given 30 seconds, and the diversity of responses underscores the multiperspectivity that characterises the memories of this crucial period and perhaps the conflict more generally.
