Industrial Accident Kills GAA Player
Fermanagh GAA player Brian Og Maguire has died in an industrial accident.

Cross-Border Roads Could Be Upgraded
Council representatives from Northern Ireland will visit Leinster House in Dublin today to discuss the possibility of upgrading cross-border roads.
The meeting is being held by the Dail's Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.
And it will focus on the A5 Aughnacloy to Londonderry road, the N2 Clontibret to Northern Ireland border scheme, the M1 Drynam to Lissenhall Widening Scheme and the N13/N14 Junction at Manorcunningham.
Construction on two sections of the A5 - from Derry to north of Strabane and from Ballgawley to south of Tyrone - is due to begin this autumn, after the scheme received funding worth hundreds of millions of pounds from the Northern Ireland Executive and the Irish government.
Man Arrested After Drugs Haul
A 28-year-old man has been arrested after £380,000-worth of cannabis was seized in Magherafelt.
Thirty-eight kilos were recovered during a planned search of a house in Leckagh Drive on Tuesday evening, and have now been taken away for forensic examination.
Local area commander Chief Inspector Sam Donaldson hailed the find as a "brilliant success".
