New research from the Commissioner for Victims and Survivors has found that 45% of people in the Republic of Ireland whose physical or mental health was affected by the Troubles continue to experience those effects today.
The findings highlight the lasting impact of the conflict on victims and survivors, with many continuing to live with the physical and psychological consequences decades later.
The research also shines a light on the ongoing challenges facing those affected, and the importance of recognising their experiences and ensuring they have access to appropriate support.
It raises questions about how the needs of victims and survivors are being addressed, and what more can be done to support those still living with the legacy of the Troubles, and Joe McVey, Commissioner for Victims and Survivors in Northern Ireland, joined us on The Agenda this morning to discuss the research and its findings.
