Ballinamore Area Community Council CLG Chair-Person – Máírín Martin and Philip Brannan – Black Mountain Shared Space Project, Belfast

As part of the Porticus programme the Black Mountain Shared Space Project staff, residents, & participants of their various engagement groups recently took a cross-community, cross-border best practice & fact-finding trip to County Leitrim. Black Mountain Shared Space Project was set up in 2009, It is a cross-community partnership operating across a contentious interface in the West Belfast area. Last Friday, we welcomed our friends from the project to Ballinamore for a best-practice visit to the Ballinamore Area Community Council and then to the fabulous Glenview folk museum. Maírín Martin Ballinamore Community Council CLG Chair Person welcomed our friends to the Den & Ballinamore. Michael Mullin Our Better Together – Níos Fearr Le Chéile Project Manager gave the group a brief insight into our own Peace Impact Programme. The Black Mountain Shared Space Project is a fantastic Project doing great work in the community of West Belfast. We look forward to seeing everyone again soon!
