Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Engagement with Integrated Education Fund
Ms Tina Merron:
I will come in on Ms Gildernew's question about targets. We are currently working with 30 schools. It is more than we, as a charity, and NICIE can deal with. That we are working with 30 schools within two years shows where the demand is. People have always said that more than 10% would make a significant difference. Baroness May Blood always said she would like to see more than 100 integrated schools in her lifetime. Those are the kinds of targets we should be getting to within two or three years. We should be able to achieve 10% and more than 100 schools.
