The Department for Communities said a meeting took place 'to discuss social deprivation in unionist communities'.
The Loyalist Communities Council has met Democratic Unionist Party Minister for Communities Gordon Lyons.
On Wednesday, it said Lyons had "highlighted the work he is progressing in relation to an anti poverty strategy, his commitment to ensuring an adequate supply of good quality housing and the importance of education and the development of skills in areas of deprivation". The LCC said a delegation met Lyons to ask him to consider conducting a fresh "needs analysis on loyalist and unionist communities that continue to suffer economic deprivation, educational disadvantage, and infrastructure neglect".
