Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs
Development and Co-operation in Border Counties: Discussion
2:25 pm
Mr. John Greer:
That is exactly it. I stress that we are looking at the detail of the activities that are going on in the buildings with regard to peace and reconciliation. Creating a building and having a bunch of kids coming in and having a new football pitch is great, but that is not what we are about. There has to be a clear link to what those children, older people, the Deputy or I are doing in that building that will change our mindset, will make us perceive the world differently and perceive those other communities when we leave that building.
