Unfortunately,
the Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey did not run in 2011
as we were unable to confirm the full package of funding required
in time to allow fieldwork to take place.
If you are interested in attitudes to community relations issues from 1989 to 2012, time-series data are available on Surveys Online.
