Text

I appreciate, Minister, that you might not have detailed meeting logs in front of you, but can you confirm whether that funding working group has facilitated direct engagement between the community and voluntary sector and the Northern Ireland Office on the local growth fund? Can you give any sense of when there might be light at the end of the tunnel for the charities and community and voluntary organisations that face a funding precipice at the end of March?
