A west Belfast assemblyman has described plans to close a homeless centre in Belfast as "scandalous."

Regina Hostel currently provides accommodation for twenty one women, and is due to shut at the end of the month.

It also employs twenty staff.

A demonstration has been organised at the bottom of Lake Glen Avenue on the Andersonstown Road at 3pm on Monday afternoon.

Gerry Carroll told Q radio news it's an essential service -and people should fight to keep it open.
