However, it is not just about the institutions which are in place. It is imperative that we build on the common interests that we have in the area of community and, indeed, in civic areas. If we underpin them, through the various twinnings between towns in the Republic and in the North, and if we also look at what is happening in the area of co-operation and cohesion being developed between local politicians, we must build it at that level to ensure that what is being achieved will be sustainable into the future. There can be no place for sectarian bigotry in any society and it behoves all of us, not alone in political life but in society, to play our part to achieve a better Ireland for the future.
