Sinn Féin's mayor of Belfast pays visit to Shankill Road
SINN FÉIN’S 26-year-old Lord Mayor of Belfast paid a visit yesterday to the Shankill Road – once a no-go area for republicans – in support of a threatened community scheme.
Niall Ó Donnghaile, elected to Belfast City Council for the first time on May 5th and selected shortly afterwards as the city’s first citizen, dropped in on the Art Ability project which needs an estimated £150,000 (€171,000) in public funds to keep it going for another three years.
