"Public Evil"

from Inspired to Act · host Thrive Ireland

Norman Hamilton is known for his efforts to help broker peace during the Holy Cross dispute in Belfast of 25 years ago.  Anyone aged over 40 will remember the images which flew around the world - as the police and army escorted young children to and from their primary school, in the midst of an adult dispute over interfaces, and claim and counter-claim of sectarian abuse.  Now a retired Presbyterian Minister, Norman tells Diane and Will that for those few months of his life, Holy Cross, confronted him with "public evil, on a grand scale".Tell us what you think!Produced for Thrive IrelandIn association with The Northern Ireland Community Relations Council
