Northern Ireland's five main political parties have sent a joint letter to the UK government urging it to fully replace EU funds which were lost after Brexit.

Community organisations in Northern Ireland have put 400 workers on notice of redundancy due to a lack of funding.

Up to 1,700 jobs are at risk over the failure to replace EU funds that were lost after Brexit, a consortium of community groups have said.

GROUPS helping some of Northern Ireland’s most vulnerable people will not know if their bids for new British Government funding have been approved until just days before their European Union funding runs out.
