Lord Trimble the former (Briitish) First Minister of the area was the co-winner (along with John Hume) of the Nobel Peace Prize for acheiving that peace. As First Minister, he clearly was a major player in that process, as expressly recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize.
Lord Trimble had this to say on point in a recent interview with the Telegraph:
Hillary Clinton had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and is a "wee bit silly" for exaggerating the part she played, according to Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of the province
"I don?t know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill [Clinton] going around," he said. Her recent statements about being deeply involved were merely "the sort of thing people put in their canvassing leaflets" during elections. "
She visited when things were happening, saw what was going on, she can certainly say it was part of her experience. I don?t want to rain on the thing for her but being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principal player."
Mrs Clinton has made Northern Ireland key to her claims of having extensive foreign policy experience, which helped her defeat Barack Obama in Ohio and Texas on Tuesday after she presented herself as being ready to tackle foreign policy crises at 3am.
"I helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland," she told CNN on Wednesday. But negotiators from the parties that helped broker the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 told The Daily Telegraph that her role was peripheral and that she played no part in the gruelling political talks over the years.

Lord Trimble shared the Nobel Peace Prize with John Hume, leader of the nationalist Social Democratic and Labour Party, in 1998.
Conall McDevitt, an SDLP negotiator and aide to Mr Hume during the talks, said: "There would have been no contact with her either in person or on the phone. I was with Hume regularly during calls in the months leading up to the Good Friday Agreement when he was taking calls from the White House and they were invariably coming from the president."

Please note that both sides of the negotiations back up Trimble's viewpoint as to Hillary's noninvolvement.

Hillary seems to have taken the natural inclination to resume padding to a new level, and to me at least, reflects very negatively on her credibility and character.
