Mr. Pat Hynes:

I went there in the mid-1990s, and the imperative then was to form relationships with people who had never met, even though they might have lived half a mile from one another. They did not even meet us. We had this opportunity, and the imperative, of course, was to find an end to the violence. We do not have the violence now, which is a good thing, but what I will say, 25 years on, with a few more grey hairs, is that this really needs to continue and we still need to have these conversations. Yet there is in a sense almost a greater level of difficulty at one level in bringing people into spaces in ways we did not have 25 years ago because the imperative of ending the conflict was so strong among us all. That does not mean we want to go back to any imperative that previously existed, but there are different pressures now on people and different examples of people in one sense still working through what they might have emerged from. Some of them are just not able to speak and others are clearly well versed in being able to express themselves. Our challenge today is trying to reach into these communities and the younger and newer generation of people who have grown up in an era of peace, which is great, but still with some challenges in front of us. As I said earlier, the peace walls have not come down and so on.
