INTEGRATED EDUCATION FUND

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the decision of the Integrated Education Fund (IEF) in Northern Ireland to give financial support of over £750,000 to establish integrated education provision in both the Clogher Valley and the Saintfield/Carryduff areas following the refusal of the Government to fund these schools; welcomes the IEF's decision to continue to fund the campaign by a group of parents in the Moira/Hillsborough area for an integrated primary school in their area; and notes that support for integrated education was a key theme of the St Patrick's week celebrations in the United States where policy-makers and American-Irish organisations see the great importance of promoting integrated education.
