A fantastic initiative that I’m thrilled to be part of. So important to bring our young people into the essential debate about our past. Looking forward to continuing this excellent collaboration with NIYF and the Commission for Victims and Survivors of the Northern Ireland Conflict.
Incredible learning&discussions with NIYF Commission Victims& Survivors Youth Panel about the #Legacy #Act as they prepare 4a consultation with the Commission next month. Thought provoking evening! @chrisreynolds68.bsky.social
