Belfast petition for St Paddy's Day funds

SDLP Mayor of Belfast and Sinn Féin Councillor Tom Hartley joined forces with Irene Sherry of the St Patrick's Day Carnival Committee to launch a petition outside City Hall in Belfast calling for Belfast Council to fund a St Patrick's Day Carnival at the City Hall.

This is the latest year in which Belfast councillors have refused to fund an event which brings thousands of people into Belfast City Centre to celebrate St Patrick's Day. Also pictured signing the petition is SDLP Mayor Martin Morgan.
