'I would like to propose that we either equalise the funding across the three groups, or we try to find additional funding LGBTQ+ and minority ethnic groups.'
An Alliance councillor has called on City Hall to match funding for LGTBQ and ethnic minority groups with that given to Irish cultural groups across the city.
At the Committee Councillor Murray said: “I am new to the council, so I don’t know what the rationale behind the amount of funding was, but I would like to propose that we either equalise the funding across the three groups, or we try to find additional funding LGBTQ+ and minority ethnic groups. Green Councillor Mal O’Hara said: “I appreciate the sentiment Councillor Murray has, but this money was agreed a couple of months ago, and the imperative is to get this out as quickly as possible. The difficulty here is if you have to come back with a different proposal then we run the risk of not getting the money out the door, particularly for Belfast Pride and some of its animation activities.”
