Fiolar, this is a old ploy to get government grants. The nationalists in Belfast make a great carnival each March and the world attend it. So they are trying to get in on the act. They are hate filled beyond belief. I worked with two of them for years and got on well. When my mother died a few years back both of them came to my home to pay their respects. They told me together that they would not be attending the funeral as they do not enter the Catholic Church ! Christ better if they had said nothing. I go to all funerals, even D.U.P. ones ! Says more about them I feel.
