The West Winds. The Glen. The Bowtown. I do not see very many people attending the community meetings there. I say to the Member that there are more than two communities. There are a lot more people out there who are not just nationalist and not just unionist. There are also nationalists and unionists who are concerned about the flags. A portal is not something to be afraid of. A portal gives people on the ground the opportunity to see who wants to put up these flags, when they will be put up and when they will be taken down.
