Ms Gina McIntyre:

It is. It is especially prevalent in rural communities. The single-identity work we are talking about is very specific. The programme is a PEACEPLUS programme and everything must be either cross-community, cross-Border, or both. The single-identity work will have to demonstrate to us a pathway to moving towards cross-community. We would not be funding the likes of a band that was single-identity and saying it might be bringing somebody else in. We would not be doing that. It would probably be work that was required between the churches, for example, which wanted to do a bit of work between themselves to lead on perhaps to doing a cross-community event. It would therefore be very specific and could not be just, as Ms Gildernew said, that type of example.

We recognise there are a lot of people who just do not know how to make that step because they are not even reconciled with their own community. It is about how we get them to move along a few footsteps to even reconcile with their own community and to engage further to allow them to go out and engage on a cross-community basis. It is really deep work. It would not be just somebody saying they are going to do something and it might be single-identity in the meantime. It would not be that. We would be really interrogating what they were going to do and how they were going to drive themselves forward to do cross-community work, if we were to fund single-identity projects.
