Text
As you know, Minister, sport plays an important role in building community cohesion. I am advised that East Belfast GAA wrote to you on 18 September to request a meeting but has not yet received a response. What actions are you taking urgently to meet East Belfast GAA to demonstrate your support in the face of ongoing intimidation in east Belfast?
