“with influence in the community..” – redux

While we may have to wait until Monday’s meeting of the Assembly for a statement from the Social Development minister on her decision about that funding, there has been more violence in the Castlemara estate in Carrickfergus. According to the reports up to 100 people were involved and 4 men arrested. Police are also reported to be maintaining a “high visibility presence” and, once again, they’re appealing to those with influence in the community.. [Presumably, that would be those ‘good guys’? – Ed]

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
