    Does anyone know anything about an organization called "Full Court Peace" that brings together Protestant and Catholic youths from schools in NI to play basketball together?
    Any info would be appreciated - and opinions.

    What has this to do with history or heritage?

    The organization is apparently trying to solve the historical problems - as evidenced by religious tension - of the region. Whether successful or not, that is their premise. I thought that might be obvious from the title of the group.

    You could contact The Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation in Wicklow. I'm sure if there is such an organisation they would help you.
