MEP welcomes more money for Rural Halls
19 April 2008
STATEMENT BY TRADITIONAL UNIONIST MEP JIM ALLISTER:-
“I greatly welcome the fact that an underspend of PEACE II Extension money within RDC is to be spent by giving additional money to recipients under the Maximising Community Space, rural halls Programme. They are to receive £300,000 extra cash to purchase equipment for use within refurbished halls.
The Rural Halls Programme is one I had campaigned long and hard to achieve and was pleased that so many Orange halls qualified for refurbishment assistance. A few weeks ago I discovered this underspend existed and, therefore, I am pleased that RDC has responded positively to representations to direct it into these halls.”
