City of Derry Airport
A colossal waste of money.
That's one Conservative councillor's verdict on City of Derry Airport.
And David Harding wants it closed and the money poured into upgrading the roads from the North West to the two Belfast airports.聽
Airports which are only 20 miles apart!
So, is Northern Ireland too small for three airports?
Zero Tolerance
A Zero tolerance approach to bad behaviour in schools - is an "abuse" of children's rights, a "key cause" for mental health problems AND cruel. 聽
That is from a report in the Independent from the NUT section of the National Education Union, and their annual conference.
Leaflets
The pamphlet from a group calling itself Generation Sparta calls upon followers to resist what it calls 'islamisation'.聽
The PSNI are treating the incident as a hate crime .
Mental Health
Nearly half of young people in Northern Ireland have experienced a mental health problem according to new research by the Prince's Trust. It shows that Young people fear for their emotional health more than ever before, as worries about the future, money and generally 'not being good enough' pile up on their generation.
