North Belfast Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín, has welcomed a further step in the development of a cross community sports stadium at the North Foreshore when she joined party colleague and junior minister Gerry Kelly at the launch of the ‘Crusaders-Newington ‘Ambassadors Programme’ in the Lansdowne Hotel.
Early this week organisers behind the bid to build the sports stadium held a meeting with Sinn Féin MEP Bairbre de Brún as well as the North Belfast Sinn Féin team at the Northern Assembly.
"Here is an example of a project which has a North Belfast approach to addressing investing for health, sports, urban regeneration, education and employment and I'm convinced it will be a success, which will bring massive social benefits for people living in North Belfast,” said Ní Chuilín.
At the earlier meeting MEP Bairbre de Brún said the project held huge community regeneration potential.
"The importance of the project lies in it's social aspects, and I think for that reason it's useful to have met with the MEPs and get our support for what is a very worthwhile proposal and one which will allow the clubs to bring that social benefit to the area.”
