NI has “a vacuum of leadership” according to @PatricKielty at the #BeyondSectarianism conference @UlsterUni. “Politicians aren’t leading people. They’re reacting to what they think people want, but people really want change,” he said.


Lady Moyra Quigley, wife of the late Sir George Quigley, believes people in NI have more in common with each other than with anyone else. “There should be no reason why we cannot come together and work together for our mutual benefit,” she says. #BeyondSectarianism


Speaking at the #BeyondSectarianism conference @UlsterUni, Sir George Quigley Committee member @david_gavaghan said: “Tackling sectarianism head-on is a fundamental part of taking forward everything that’s been achieved over the last 21 years, and it’s in our grasp.”


Conference chair @MarkCarruthers7 echoes views of the #BeyondSectarianism delegates @UlsterUni yesterday - that sectarianism is an issue transcending so many different parts of our society and must be tackled collaboratively.


.@PatricKielty believes we need to look at education in NI. He says we have the world’s best schools, but the current segregated system is preventing children in their formative years from learning that we’re ultimately all the same. #BeyondSectarianism


.@UlsterUni VC Professor @paddynixon says the #BeyondSectarianism report is “absolutely superb” because it doesn’t just outline the problem of sectarianism - it identifies options and solutions to address it.


.@UlsterUni VC @paddynixon concludes the #BeyondSectarianism conference, saying: "Courageous civic leadership is how we will take things forward and make change. I’m filled with hope that a loud and unstoppable civic voice has been born here today."

Author of the review Prof @duncan_morrow hopes his report will ‘focus minds’ and encourage government and civic society to think about the issue of sectarianism and find a way forward #BeyondSectarianism Read the report here: ulster.ac.uk/news/2019/may/…



“We need now to demonstrate an attitude of response to the recommendations in this report,” says @PoliceServiceNI ACC George Clarke. “The PSNI are willing to be stretched & challenged about building relationships with communities & young people.” #BeyondSectarianism

A new government department should be set up specifically to tackle sectarianism. That's one of the key recommendations of a report from Ulster University which says the problem shows no sign of going away. We'll have more on this on our lunchtime programme on BBC One NI.

Unexpected hero of centre-ground but fair play Patrick Kielty - much to say worth hearing at Beyond Sectarianism conf. Spoke of need to reject ‘everyday sectarianism’ as we now reject racism & sexism & that in politics, as in life, when you give, you tend to get something back
