The actor also said he was frustrated at the 'shambles' at Stormont and voiced his support for integrated education

Jamie Dornan has described feeling emotional at the end of Derry Girls, as well as his frustration at the "shambles" at Stormont.

"They are not the conversations we should be having. It's ultimately really damaging," he told the PA news agency. He said the scenes in Derry Girls where the girls take part in cross community programmes reminded him of his school days going on a school trip to the Share Centre in Co Fermanagh.

"Methody shaped me...it was then slightly more Protestant than now, but also had a big international community. The mixing of all those different elements is a helpful thing, to have a broader understanding of what it's all about. Currently around 7% of schoolchildren in Northern Ireland attend a school officially designated as integrated. Just under 70 of the region's 1,091 schools are integrated."I have a strong understanding of why there would be certain factions of society who would be opposed to that faction being bigger, but I don't think taking kids at four years old and dividing them, and deepening the idea of division and tribalism is the right way to go," he said.
