Stendhal festival organisers say Tourism NI should be 'ashamed' after funding cut

The organisers of the Stendhal Festival in Co Derry say a decision to cut funding from Tourism NI just weeks before the event takes place is "staggering".

Tourism NI said it is has "unfortunately" made "some difficult decisions" including scrapping its National Tourism Events Sponsorship Scheme in the current financial year.

With just weeks left before Stendhal kicks off at Ballymully Cottage Farm outside Limavady on July 6, organisers say Tourism NI should be "ashamed".
