Mr. Kevin Mulgrew:

The Community Foundation of Northern Ireland is a funded group in the North. It convened the meeting and invited us. We went to meet all of those groupings. It was fairly tense but out of that came a lot of stuff that defused matters in those areas. Many former political prisoners, both loyalist and ourselves, were out trying to prevent what was developing into something worse because it was near enough contagious. That was a major one but it goes on all the time. A lot of training happens through some of our networks. I refer to Tar Anall on the Falls Road and Tar Isteach in north Belfast. They have training programmes where loyalists come in and do training on the Falls Road, especially in door security and issues like that. At times, the majority are from loyalist and Protestant areas. There is a lot of connection.
