WHAT THEY SAY…

I applaud the Director, Andy Pollak, and his team on a tremendous record of achievement over well nigh 12 years. Pages 112-173 of the Journal, on the Centre’s work, show just how far-reaching and significant is its range and how it touches on areas so relevant to the quality of our future on the island. I saw this at first hand through my involvement for several years in a highly innovative programme it ran for the training of personnel engaged in cross-border policy or operations. The Centre’s Journal typifies the quality of excellence which the Centre brings to all that it does. Beautifully produced, a pleasure just to handle but, most important of all, a treasure chest of highly readable articles written to the highest professional standards. Start any of these articles and you will become hooked. And not just hooked, but challenged, because these articles irresistibly prompt the response: What must be done about this? — Sir George Quigley, Chairman, Bombardier Aerospace
