Northern Ireland's power-sharing government is on the brink of collapse after Sinn Fein's deputy first minister Martin McGuinness resigned.

Journalist Siobhan Fenton grew up in Belfast and was a child when the Good Friday Agreement was signed, which makes her part of the generation dubbed "peace babies".

She told Broadcasting House: "I, along with most of my contemporaries, never thought we'd see a time when the institutions could collapse like the dark days our parents remembered."

These are her reflections on the latest political crisis to grip Northern Ireland.
