Putting the final touches to Féile an Phobail venue in the Falls Park.
PICTURE: MAL MCCANNA women’s rights group is to press ahead with legal action against the organisers of Féile an Phobail after a meeting to mediate the dispute over a cancelled event ended without resolution.
The organisers of the west Belfast festival had offered a meeting with Women’s Rights Network NI, whose event at the Féile was cancelled earlier this week.
The ‘Respect, Rights & Reality’ event was cancelled by Féile after it said it had been “unaware from the initial submission” that it would “promote campaigns against rights for the transgender community”.
On Thursday the group had called for the organisers of the festival to meet with them to discuss the event cancellation, and threatened legal action if they did not do so.
