Mayor Looks Back On MTV Successes
One of the most iconic images of 2011 - the crowds gathered in front of Belfast City Hall to watch Snow Patrol perform during MTV's visit - has been used by the Lord Mayor to extend festive greetings.
Sinn Fein Councillor Niall Ó Donnghaile has featured the photo on his Christmas card and believes it perfectly captures the 'feel good mood' he hopes augers well for 2012.
"Everyone across Belfast and beyond was swept up on the positive vibes that surrounded the MTV events here. It was quite a weekend," the Mayor said.
"Now, as we move into 2012 we have the impetus to all pull together to ensure that Belfast's success story continues.
"As a city we have proved our worth on a world stage and can look forward to many exciting events in 2012 with optimism and confidence," he said.
The First Citizen revealed that early next year Belfast City Council will be unveiling an Investment Programme that will set out a range of initiatives to ensure commitment to our economic growth.
"I am very well aware that issues such as jobs and incomes are what matter most to our citizens. Our pledge, through this exciting investment, is that we will build on Belfast's many strengths in order to meet the challenges ahead," he added.
