About us
The Border Minority Group (BMG) was formed in 2001 to facilitate community and cultural development within the minority Protestant community in Cavan, Leitrim and Monaghan and to work for human rights, and equality. Since its formation approximately 40 community, cultural and church organisations, youth groups and sports clubs scattered across the three counties have affiliated to BMG. The organisation, at its first public event in May 2001, committed itself to documenting the Protestant community’s views on its place in border society and the state of community and cultural development on the ground, identifying areas of social exclusion and weak community infrastructure, and formulating a programme to address these issues.
