€5 Levy Imposed On Tickets For All-Ireland Final
A €5 levy has been imposed on tickets for Sunday's All-Ireland Final by Donegal GAA County Board.
The county has just under 15,000 tickets for the showpiece game against Mayo at Croke Park.
They say the levy is to help pay for training facilities for the squad in the build up to the game.
Supporters of the county looking for one of the allocated tickets say they are happy to pay the extra money for this one off occasion.
Chinese National In Court Over Cannabis Haul
A 43-year-old Chinese national has appeared in court in Londonderry in connection with the discovery of drugs with an estimated street value of more than £700,000.
Frankie Huang, from Meadowcroft in Dromore, County Tyrone, was charged with possessing 38 kilos of herbal cannabis with intent to supply.
The drugs were found at a house in Leckagh Drive in Magherafelt.
Mr Huang was remanded in custody to appear by video link next month.
Omagh Group Headed For Columbia
A group from Omagh will travel to Colombia on Wednesday, to take part in talks about the peace process there.
At a conference in Bogota Michael Gallagher will discuss how victims were affected by the Good Friday Agreement.
He will also talk about his work with victim-related issues.
Mr Gallagher's son Aidan was one of 29 people - including a woman pregnant with twins - murdered in a Real IRA bomb attack in Omagh in 1998.
"What I've learned over the last 15 years is that involving victims in the peace process was almost an afterthought," he said.
"I think they've got to pay attention to the people who have suffered.
"They're the people who will ultimately have to agree to the process."
