Communities Minister Deirdre Hargey at the scene of the fire at the Belfast Multicultural Association last week (Sinn Fein/PA) The building was being used as a food bank, with volunteers distributing packages to vulnerable people during the Covid-19 pandemic. Ms Hargey told the Stormont Assembly her priority was to get the association back in the building as soon as possible. She said she was working with Belfast City Council to find a temporary home for the association and its work. She said the council had offered the use of the Waterfront Hall. “With this attack there’s obviously been a rise in fears within the community,” the minister told MLAs.
