peace walls

In May 2008, a ‘peace line fence’ was erected in the grounds of Hazelwood Integrated Primary after Catholic homes were attacked close to the school. Ten years on, the 25ft-high interface barrier is still in place. The irony of a peace wall at the side of an integrated school - only in Northern Ireland!  I fought against its erection in 2008 and we lost the argument. It remains as a testimony to our inability to accept difference.
Tonight another "punishment shooting" and so it goes on. When will we learn?
