Kneecap donates £14,250 to community groups after court victory against UK government

Kneecap, an Irish language group, is donating £14,250 to two community organizations after winning a court case against the UK Government. The funds will be split equally between Glór Na Móna in Ballymurphy and R City Belfast on the Shankill Road. The donation follows a Belfast High Court ruling that the government unlawfully blocked a grant to Kneecap due to the band's political views. The funding will support youth programs and initiatives aimed at fostering good relations in the community. Both organizations expressed gratitude for the donation. R City plans to use the funds for social programs and an international trip to South Africa, while Glór Na Móna will invest in a project to promote the Irish language.
