What the petition asks

Entertainers unable to work in NI need financial help with still being unable to work due to COVID Restrictions
Funding from Invest NI (Part B) was cut when most close contact services were able to return to work, however with live music still banned due to restrictions in NI, financial help is essential for those livelihoods

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
