Welcome for Derry City FC and Crusaders legal proceedings following the allocation of NI Football Fund.
Aontú Ballyarnett representative, Emmet Doyle has welcomed the announcement that Derry City FC and Crusaders have begun legal proceedings following the allocation of funding via the NI Football Fund.
Mr Doyle described the move as "necessary" but demonstrative of politicians' "inability to make change".
Speaking today, Mr Doyle said: “The clubs are taking drastic, but I believe, necessary actions in challenging the decisions of the Minister in overlooking both clubs for Stage 2 of the Fund.
"They have both waited many years for this fund to come to fruition because of Stormont's incompetence, and to have been brushed aside in the manner they have is disgraceful, and I know their supporters will be behind them."
