I am delighted to welcome the very Reverend Dr. Norman Hamilton from the Presbyterian Church, accompanied by Reverend Trevor Gribben and Reverend Dr. Roy Patten. This time last year this committee met in Belfast. We all know what happened a number of weeks later but it was nothing to do with us. We are very aware of the challenges that present in urban Belfast and want to have an open conversation about them. I invite the witnesses to make their presentation and then the committee members will respond with observations and questions. Hopefully we will have a good, open and frank discussion.
