Avon and Somerset Police later said they would take “no further action” against either group as there was “insufficient evidence” for a “realistic prospect of conviction”. Féile an Phobail was established in 1988, and this year 700 events are scheduled to take place between July 25th and August 9th.
Festival director Kevin Gamble said: “Kneecap not only speak out to assist communities but take actions too – this is yet another clear example of that, ensuring a huge amount will go into our community thanks to them. ” Organisers say the Kneecap gig will raise a six-figure sum, with west Belfast organisation Glór na Móna the largest recipient. They say the donation will go directly towards building Croí na Carraige, its new Irish medium youth and community hub.
The club say they aim to use the money to “launch an innovative Irish language initiative hub, An tSíol”, which will deliver community-based programmes for club members and the wider community, including classes for adults and younger players. – PABonnie Tyler’s life in pictures throughout the yearsPwC employee was working remotely in India when he should have been in DublinEU warns Meta over Facebook and Instagram’s addictive feeds
