The former First Lady and Secretary of State visited Belfast with then-president Bill Clinton in November 1995 to lend their support for an end to the Troubles and to encourage a peace agreement.
Hillary Clinton has revealed that she and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, chose to stay at the Europa Hotel in Belfast, which is famous for being the most bombed hotel in the world. They made this decision against advice from the White House when they visited Northern Ireland in November 1995.
Mrs. Clinton recalled that during their first trip to Northern Ireland, her husband was keen on staying at the Europa Hotel. "Hundreds of thousands of people who turned out, many with their small children on their shoulders or in their arms, which said more to me than anything could about their hopefulness."
"So it was quite an introduction to Belfast and the beginning of a very important relationship, certainly in my life going forward." "It takes an extraordinary amount of not just personal fortitude, but a sense of courage to take that risk."
