TWO years ago this week the staff at Regina Coeli in the Lake Glen area of West Belfast were faced with a dilemma. Their eventual decision to takeover the only women’s hostel in the North of Ireland in the face of imminent closure forced them into the public spotlight over a 12-week period during January-March 2022, with their cause resonating within the wider community and the trade union movement. Their stance would inspire a play which was staged just months after their protest came to an end and which in November this year was the recipient of the Aisling Arts & Culture Award.
