‘This is a global blog and open to everyone. Feel free to post a comment which will go live after moderation’

DEPUTY FIRST MINISTER Martin McGuinness MLA writes for the ‘Compromise After Conflict’ blog – based at Queen’s University Belfast and the University of Aberdeen – on the fraught subject of dealing with the past in the North of Ireland.

‘Compromise After Conflict’ says:

“Post-conflict situations require us to examine our past and how we heal the emotions and hurt endured by victims as well as society as a whole.

“We would welcome your comments on any of our postings and would consider articles for posting from academics, victims’ groups, politicians and other interested parties.

“This is a global blog and open to everyone. Feel free to post a comment which will go live after moderation.

“If you wish to submit an article for posting please contact Dr Francis Teeney [email protected]

“We welcome debate on any of our postings.”
