I refer to the Buddy Up programme between Edenderry school and Holy Cross school in the Ardoyne and the interaction there, with parents bringing their children and getting to know somebody from across the interface. I visited Randalstown as well and it is incredible to witness that interaction. It is not about building a new school; it is about interaction between students from one tradition or school system and students from another. It is not about building new schools, integrated schools or shared education but about doing great work across the community. Is that correct?
