A BBC Radio 4 programme is looking to hear the stories of people who fled Northern Ireland for Dundalk during the sectarian violence of the late 60s and early 70s.
BBC Radio 4's World This Weekend programme is going to be broadcasting from Belfast on Sunday, to look ahead to next weekend's Good Friday Agreement anniversary.
Their reporter Edward Stourton has been covering the Peace Process and before that the Troubles for decades, and has found some radio news archives of Belfast citizens having to flee their homes in 1971 as a result of the violence.
In that archive some of the people fleeing say that they are going to Dundalk, and the programme is looking to speak to an individual or family who was part of that escape.
Anyone willing to take part can contact the senior producer of the programme at: alexander.ritchie@bbc.co.uk
