SINN Féin Councillor Kevin Campbell has welcomed a £1 million investment in the Irish language as part of the October Monitoring Round.
The cash injection was announced earlier this week by Sinn Fein Finance Minister Mairtin O’Muilleoir as part of a £30 million package across a range of services.
Cllr Campbell said: “I welcome the news that the Minister for Finance Máirtín Ó Muilleoir has made an allocation of £1 million to the Department for Education for Irish medium nurture units.
“Nurture units make a huge difference to the educational outcomes of children.
“I would like to congratulate the Minister for the leadership he has shown on this issue.”
