The passing of Deputy Lord Provost Paul Docherty’s motion at Belfast City Council calling on the Executive to initiate a pilot UBI for Artists scheme in Northern Ireland is warmly welcomed by the MU [and] served as a ‘shot in the arm’ for the conversation in Northern Ireland and across the UK. Musicians and other creative workers cannot continue to live and work in current conditions with the continual erosion of investment and opportunity. We look forward to supporting ongoing efforts on this matter in Northern Ireland and beyond.

Disputed The MU source (25 Mar 2026) attributes this passage to Caroline Sewell, but publishes “warmly welcomed by the MU served as”; stored content materially inserts “[and]”. Canonical content must match the source. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5 · 2h ago
