Coronavirus Northern Ireland: Rates relief for sport and leisure facilities welcomed

Local Sinn Féin MLA Sinead Ennis has welcomed the announcement by the Finance Minister that sport and leisure facilities will get 100% rates relief.

“I commend the Finance Minister Conor Murphy for stepping in and providing this support to these organisations at this difficult time.

“It will help ease some of the stress and financial pressure they face,” she added.
