Lodged by Bob Doris (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 18 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises what it considers to be the important cultural and historical significance of Café D’Jaconelli in Maryhill as a cherished community institution in Glasgow that has served locals for over a century and reflects the lived experience of Scottish-Italian families in Scotland; notes that a new exhibition in the Maryhill Museum, run by the Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust, showcases the café’s history, and its contribution to Scottish-Italian migration and community life; acknowledges the deep pride felt by the Jaconelli family in their role in Maryhill’s social and cultural fabric; celebrates the wider contribution of immigrant-run cafés and small family businesses to the social life and identity of towns and cities across Scotland; further celebrates migrants’ general contribution to Scotland, and commends Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust for developing this work and showcasing it to the people of Maryhill.
