Lisburn’s young people also recently took part in a live radio programme, organised by the Warrington Peace Centre, entitled ‘Moving On’, broadcast on England’s Radio City 96.7 FM.

During the live broadcast a panel of young people from England and Northern Ireland joined experts to explore a range of topics, including racial, political and religious conflict, peace and reconciliation and moving forward.

The Mayor, Alderman William Leathem said the young people who have forged links with the Warrington Peace Centre were to be congratulated.

Such engagement and dialogue has created a special relationship between our two areas and I am deeply encourage that this positive relationship has arisen out of such a terrible atrocity, some 20 years on,” said the Mayor.
