Not sure that everyone is Catholic.
But its a circular economy. We pay Council tax. Lets assume it pays money to Screen NI, and also funds the Belfast Film Festival. And Screen NI also funds the Belfast Film Festival. And then the BFF also apply for grants.
So all this public money goes to pay a Director salary and a few other staff.
It also buys a BIGLY SCREEN. It is a depreciating asset with ongoing costs to store, manage and ERECT.
I'm not sure how the Directors of the company took the view that this was acting in the best interest of their shareholders....And why public money is flowing to a private company who survives on charity.
