Celtic help fund cross-community children's project

A Belfast-based organisation which aims to break down the sectarian divide has received a cash boost from one of Scotland’s Old Firm footballing giants, it emerged today.

Celtic Football Club, whose manager Martin O’Neill hails from Kilrea in Northern Ireland, donated £3,000 (€4,300) to NICHS which encourages Protestant and Catholic teenagers to work together on projects and also forge close friendships across the Irish border.
