How do we than develop that or ensure it evolves through multi-annual funding so there can be a more strategic approach to it? This is so it is not just a one-off day but programmes of events where people learn about each other, learn from each other and understand each other better. I have seen programmes where we have had loyalist students and students from republican areas here. The dynamic has been very interesting in that I found there was no difference between us, when we talked about mental health and other issues. It was politics in action. It was Mr. Peter Weir who brought groups down here. How do we scale up the work the representatives are doing? What do they need to scale up that work?
