Taking down the peace walls - vital goal or pipe dream? #bbcnolan

Are peace walls here to stay for the forseeable future? A new report has found the number of people who want to keep the barriers is increasing.

In 2012 a survey found 22% of residents wanted the walls to remain. But that's now gone up to 30%.

Many more Protestants - 44% - want the walls to stay, compared to 23% of Catholics.

So where does that leave Stormont's strategy to bring all the walls down by 2023?
