Kelly praises community help for playgroup


Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly has praised the local community after offers of help for an Ardoyne playgroup following damage done due to burst pipes to the premises.

Part of the ceiling at Holy Cross Playgroup on Flax Street collapsed after an overhead water tank burst and thousands of pounds worth of damage was caused to equipment and toys. However the neighbouring Ardoyne Kickhams GAC and Ardoyne Youth Club offered the playgroup use of their premises.

“The community has really pulled together very quickly to help out. That has been typical of the people of Ardoyne over recent weeks. With all the complaints about the snow, the grit and the water the people of Ardoyne took action. They didn’t hang about waiting for people to make promises,” said Kelly who visited the site along with local councilor Gerard McCabe to offer their assistance.
