The President, Mrs McAleese, yesterday opened an extension to the Presbyterian Youth Centre dedicated to Peace and Reconciliation in Lucan, Co Dublin.
The project was established by Nexus Ireland, a peace and reconciliation initiative of the Presbyterian Church's Youth Board, which began its work in 1987.
The success of the project has been recognised by financial assistance from both the Irish and British governments and the Peace and Reconciliation Programme of the European Union.
