Family campaign to raise awareness of choking dangers after daughter Sherry's death
It's every parent's worst nightmare - having to bury your only child. Sherry Campbell was found dead in the kitchen of her family home by her father, Shannon.
It's every parent's worst nightmare - having to bury your only child. Sherry Campbell was found dead in the kitchen of her family home by her father Shannon at around 4am on 7 September. She was just 29 years old. The special needs teaching assistant had choked to death. Her family now want to make others aware of the dangers and are creating a charitable foundation in her name. You can read more of their poignant story on the Belfast Live website. Vinny has been speaking to her mum Fionuala and Sherry's lifelong friend Danielle Elmes.
Also on the programme, Universal Credit is rolled out this week in Northern Ireland. But SDLP deputy leader Nichola Mallon has called for it to be scrapped here amid claims that it could push claimants into debt. Vinny spoke to Nichola and businessman and former chair of the Conservatives in Northern Ireland Irwin Armstrong.
Plus, most of us will feel privileged when we have been invited to a wedding. But how would you feel about being invited but being told that you have to pay to be there? A couple unable to afford their dream wedding have asked guests to contribute up to 拢150 each to attend, under a "business model" devised by the groom. Commentators Heidi McAlpin and Tina Calder discuss.
And, Nolan Show reporter Nicola Weir talks to TV chef Michel Roux.
