£20k Foyle Cup cashcame from soon-to-bedefunct Culture Co.
THE Foyle Cup received £20k through the Londonderry Culture Company this year in addition to £10k from the Sports Minister in the June monitoring round.
But the Sports Minister explained that the Tourism Minister Arlene Foster has been responsible for funding the gala football tournament since 2010.
Earlier this year the Sentinel reported how a fifty per cent drop in the money doled out by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB) Event Fund for the Foyle Cup in 2013 related only to a portion of the predicted total budget for the competition.
