In September twenty sets of nets at the Falls Park pitches used by Belfast Celtic Young Men and Ladies FC had their cross-bars snapped in one night, causing £700 worth of damage
Belfast Celtic football club has been given permission by the council to use a storage container to protect its equipment at Falls Park, following recent vandalism.
“Despite the efforts of council officers to curb the anti-social behaviours at the site the risk to the club’s equipment remains. The council is not currently in a position to provide storage for the club’s equipment and the club therefore are requesting permission to purchase and to house a storage container on council land to be able to safely store this equipment.
As well as proposing acceptance of the Falls Park request, which was recommended by council officers, Councillor Donnelly proposed the council acceded to the request from Celtic Boys for installation of a container for their exclusive use at Sally Gardens. “On the basis that supporting the request may not best serve the requirements and expectations of the broad range of site users the board is recommending members do not grant the club’s request at this time.
