'I never thought that the Agreement wouldn't be accepted, because at the time it just made sense.'
For those who turned 18 in the run-up to the Good Friday Agreement referendum, their first vote would be a crucial one that would define Northern Ireland's future.
Today, Roisin, 42, lives with Lurgan with her husband Neal and two children Nessa and Ronan and works in finance. "I didn't have an exam on the day of the vote so I was quite excited when the date was announced. I couldn't wait to be an adult and be able to do things like that. "The Northern Ireland Office sent first-time voters a video telling what was happening. You felt that you were part of a special group and that someone was actually taking the time to instruct you to vote.
"I remember going to the polling station early with my parents before they went to work. It was held in a primary school in the village of Artigarvan next to us," she recalled.
