Ennis welcomes change to fundraising law

Sinn Féin MLA Sinéad Ennis has welcomed plans to change the law to allow local voluntary groups and clubs to raise vital funds by selling tickets online.

The South Down MLA said: 

“This is welcome news and will help community and voluntary groups, sports clubs and others to bring in much needed funds in a modern way.

“Communities Minister Deirdre Hargey is taking action to modernise our outdated gambling laws by making them safer, more responsible and bringing them into line with the 21st century.”

This Government is like the last guest at a party who has worn out their welcome but still won't go.

Be very clear: The day is coming when they will have to face the verdict of the people.

So when a General Election is called, vote for hope, vote for change and vote this failed…

This was the time to call a general election, but the government didn’t have the guts to call one.

We need change like never before. We need a new government that will put workers, families, and community first.

It’s time for new people with new ideas.  It’s time for change.

‘Recognition of a Palestinian state will happen’. Welcome words from @MichealMartinTD but falls short of a firm declaration.
There may be no Palestine left to recognise unless Ireland & international community act decisively and immediately. No more delays.
