One small step
21 September 2006
DUP MEP Jim Allister has welcomed a positive response by the Special EU Programmes Body to representations which he had made that in the interests of cultural balance they should add Ulster Scots to their logo.
At present the SEUPB logo appears in English and Irish and since it has to be reproduced on publications by bodies funded by SEUPB, there was resentment that only Irish was included. Now, following representations by Mr Allister, SEUPB has instructed that their logo be redesigned to include Ulster Scots.
Commenting Jim Allister said, “This is a small step in the interest of cultural equality and one which, therefore, should be welcomed. It was unacceptable that only Irish was hitherto included.”
