Ms Gina McIntyre:

As I said, the programme was drafted before the war in Ukraine, which has had a significant impact as regards the number of people who have had to take refuge here and the cost of living. The hospitality sector has been even more decimated now because of the cost of keeping restaurants, hotels and other facilities going. There is room in the programme, but it is not explicit because the programme was written before the war. The new communities were always important throughout the entire programme. When we say "cross-community", we include the new communities in that. It is not the traditional communities in Northern Ireland based on religion - all the communities are involved. We record ten different categories of community background when people get involved with projects because we recognise that new communities play a big part.
