MEDIA POLICY ULSTER PROJECT-ARLINGTON, TX


August 2012


Due to the existing political situation in Northern Ireland, the delicacy of this undertaking cannot be overstated.


The effects of the most innocent statement to the media by those of us involved in the Ulster Project or by the Northern Irish teens could bring about problems, both immediate and delayed, for the Project, and more importantly for our guests upon return to their native land.


It must be emphasized that Ulster Project- Arlington does not have a position on political options in Northern Ireland.
