| Description | Interview with Alan Tees and Janet Roulston. They talk about their limited contact with Catholics at school, the Catholic friends that they have, and the indoctrination that children receive about people with different religious beliefs. Alan Tees says that youth clubs are often run by the church, and so are attended along sectarian lines and that many parents discourage relationships with people with different religious beliefs, partly because there would be pressures on the relationship due to the sectarian tensions in Derry. He doesn't think that the situation is likely to improve because the objectives that each side has are incompatible. Janet Roulston gives her view about the current situation and both Alan and Janet discuss the involvement of the media in exacerbating the dispute. Alan remembers the Catholics and Protestants in his office feeling a bond with other members of their own religion during the disturbances of August 1969 (tracks 1-4).
