Cash for An Culturlann

Mark Devenport | 14:36 UK time, Thursday, 4 March 2010

Who managed to find half a million pounds for the West Belfast Irish language centre, An Culturlann? According to a Sinn Fein press release, Gerry Adams "revealed that with the help of the Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, half a million pounds has now been cleared by the DCAL Minister." So congratulations Martin McGuinness and Nelson McCausland.

But not so fast, because Social Development department sources say their minister Margaret Richie was responsible for putting the funding package together, which Ms Ritchie describes as "great news for the people of West Belfast".

What's Irish for a "tug of love"?
