Paisley and McGuiness see anti-bigotry play
Glasgow primary pupils today performed excerpts from an anti-sectarian play in front of Northern Ireland's Protestant First Minister Ian Paisley and his Catholic deputy Martin McGuinness.The two men were in Edinburgh visiting Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond and the three politicians took a break to watch youngsters from St Mirin's and Croftfoot primaries perform scenes from their play A Weekend in Glasgow.
It takes place at the time of an Old Firm match and an Orange Parade in the city and shows the potential outcome of sectarian conflict including how it can result in loss of life.
The pupils from the two schools first got together three years ago under the banner Sense Over Sectarianism and each year perform a play for family and friends.
