Sinn Fein’s Ciaran Beattie welcomed support being provided to damaged businesses.
“I am delighted that Belfast City Council has agreed to Sinn Féin’s proposal to provide financial support to businesses affected by racist violence in Belfast.
“There is no place in this society for racism or attacks on our minority communities.
“All political and community leaders must stand together as one against this despicable behaviour.
“I’ll continue working to support ethnic minorities and to ensure these businesses get back on their feet as quickly as possible.”
