Teenager Dies In Newtownards Car Accident
A teenage pedestrian has died after being hit by a car in County Down. The incident happened at the Comber Road in Newtownards shortly after 1am on Tuesday. A police spokesman said the road between the Ballyhenry junction of the dual carriageway and Newtownards town may remain closed for some time. The 17-year-old has not been officially identified. An investigation is continuing. There are no further details.
Sit Down Protest Breached Parades Ruling
The sit-down road protest at the scene of an Orange Order march in north Belfast breached the ruling by the Parades Commission, a court heard yesterday. Monday's court ruling over the disputed parade in March 2010, found that that objectors at Ardoyne were restricted to footpaths, and had breached the parade's guidance. Ronnie Pedlow, the then secretary of the body, which rules on contentious processions, gave evidence as prosecutors opened their case against 26 people charged with obstructing lawful activity during the Twelfth of July march. The charges are being defended on the basis that residents and campaigners were involved in a peaceful sit-down protest.
Teens Asked To Volunteer To Trap Underage Selling
Police are calling for teenage volunteers in an effort to catch traders selling drink illegally to underage patrons. Young people from 15 to 17 years of age could get a GCSE-type qualification for volunteering, they said. Teenagers will be used to go into off-licences and bars to see if they can buy drink. Police claimed it was not about "trapping" those selling alcohol illegally.
