Mr. Paul Collins:

I back up what Ms Merron has said. Certainly, with integrated education, we have engaged with all churches and non-faith groups. For example, my own children go to primary school where the children have the free option in terms of how to progress with their religion. One is a Catholic option so one receives sacraments and moves forward with that. Indeed, the sacraments are celebrated and children are brought into the school as part of that. As part of the community, we just celebrate, as do all faiths.

There is the second tier which is the broader Christian and, I suppose, Protestant faith route that one can go down. The third tier is more broad and comprises the religions of the world, humanism and secularism throughout the whole world. Certainly, in terms of ourselves, we are engaging with churches. We do what we can to represent all of the different faiths that are in Northern Ireland and the non-faith groups as well.
