Sir, – It is 25 years since the Belfast Agreement, and it is shameful that people are still being intimidated out of their homes because of their perceived religious background.
It is shaming that some areas are still under threats from paramilitaries. It is shaming that we still have the so-called peace walls.
It is estimated that our segregated society costs us over a billion pounds a year – separate schools, separate housing estates and separate community facilities.
Every day we hear of more serious expenditure cuts to be made in every Northern Ireland government department.
Ann Ingle: Deliberately going out of my way to move for no particular reason has never appealed to me
Gerry Thornley: How about an alternative look at Ireland’s Six Nations win over England?
Is Ireland anti-Semitic, an outlier of tolerance or in the middle ground?
How risky is it to buy a second-hand EV?
How much could be achieved if we did not have to cover the costs of segregation.
It is time for more integrated education and more integrated housing and community facilities. – Yours, etc,
MARGARET MARSHALL,
Belfast.
