€1.6bn of peace money went into NI (1995-2020). If loyalists only got day trips out of it then questions need asked of the community leaders and an audit of the organisations who were funded.

'Nationalists must get, unionists must give' I believe is the line he usually runs with. Now, he's admitting that isn't the case, unionist community money was squandered on day trips. Nationalists invested theirs into the future. Makes one think. Why are we to blame again?

When Republicans got out of jail ,the vast majority of them went straight back to their communities to start putting into practice what they had gained from their degrees . Community development was the key . Loyalists on the whole went back to petty crime and drug dealing .

Money has been given to restorative justice, women's centres etc. Moreover, if Protestant communities are languishing, then why are most socially deprived places Catholic?

Well we all no to this day that Willy Frazer project FAIR got £500.000 and after the audit was asked to pay it back before he died, Now Willys wife and his friend live in a 4 bedroom farm house outside of Markethill with 12 acers of land,

Bona fide groups like ACT are already involved in the education of loyalist children.
Does Jamie think the committee doesn't already know this...
