Back Cover Details:
"The public hearing on minorities was fascinating, with
many diverse individuals and groups giving eloquent and succinct
submissions... While the issues raised were diverse, there were
uniting themes, such as the fear from violence of certain minority
groups, the experience of discrimination, and the lack of accessible
information and Services."
Christine Bell
"The minority groups in this town cannot be ignored. If
anything is to be learned from our recent history, then it must
be at least this."
Brendan McKeever
"...the place that I, as a gay man, would like to live
in...is quite simply a place where lesbian and gay people are
seen, admired, respected and loved... the problems facing the
lesbian and gay community are very much analogous to those facing
all other minority groups...We have common cause, it seems...if
we are here today for any reason, then it must be to give impetus
to the changes desired."
James Grant
"Some will say that the Unionist-led governance of the
past exploited Nationalists...therefore if Protestants have been,
or are now, being treated adversely, that they either deserve
it, or it will do them good to experience the effects of injustice
which was doled out to Catholics in the past. I would suggest
that such logic is perverse and does nothing to advance the process
whereby we can one day live alongside one another in harmony."
Ken Rooney
"I think the whole troubles situation, this social strife,
has hidden for twenty five, thirty years all the major issues...
And I think it's sad that because of the troubles, we are disadvantaged
even more..."
Brendan McKeever
"I found this kind of forum can make us aware our struggle
is not alone...today is only the starting and I still hope more
and more other people will voice their problem so that we can
support each other."
Patrick Yu
"...participation in public life... is very difficult
and a life in politics is very demanding particularly if you've
got children and other responsibilities...more steps should be
taken to promote the inclusion of women and the accommodation
of women within political structures."
Clionagh Boyle
