A few months ago Peter Robinson announced his long term vision of a totally integrated education system in Northern Ireland.
Supporters pointed to his commitment to integrated education as a sign of the new moderate DUP.
Opponents pointed to his proposal to achieve his objective by simply withdrawing funds from the Maintained sector.
What has been missed in the debate is the nature of the curriculum to be offered in these new integrated schools. An important issue since the curriculum must be capable of meeting the needs of all students in a school.
Enter Ruane stage left to highlight the teaching of the Irish Language in all schools.
Any difference from DUP policy?
Apparently not.
