Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Co-operation Ireland's Future Leaders Programme: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Erika Hunter:

We just discussed problems. When we are choosing our social options, it is the same every year. We bring up problems in our communities that we think are important and that we want to change. We put them forward to the group because everyone is from different places so they might have different answers, but nine times out of ten we all face the same problems no matter where on the island we are.

We chose this one because we thought it was the most important and were interested in it. A lot of us did not know much about it so we wanted to learn about it as much as we now want everyone else to learn about it as well. We wanted to become informed on a topic that was a kind of grey area for us. We had not heard much about it and that is one of the reasons we found it to be so important to bring it here. We have not heard much about it and I feel that everyone should know about it. Everyone should be educated on it. Everyone should be clear about it and not need to learn about it themselves, as we did. It should be clear across the board that everyone knows. It is something that needs to change. Everyone knows which changes need to be made and so on.
