Segregation remains one of the biggest concerns for Lurgan's young people according to a report launched today by Lurgan Town Project and funded by the International Fund for Ireland. The study also found that while many young people felt that the older generations' 'bitterness' and focus on the past was a key inhibitor to building cross-community relationships.
