Text

I thank the Minister for that answer. We are starting to see the impact of investment into local communities through funds from the Ulster-Scots Agency and the Arts Council. In the past, Sinn Féin has been critical about your priorities, complaining recently that consistent funding for Ulster Scots and bands was for "vanity projects". Does the Minister agree that Sinn Féin should adopt a more progressive attitude and support all cultures, and not just when the cameras are rolling?
