Influx Of Patients To RVH Again
Additional staff had to be drafted in to Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital Accident and Emergency department on Monday night to deal with an increase in patients, it has been reported.

It is understood more than 250 people visited the department within a 24-hour period from midnight on Sunday.
Dr Tony Stevens, Medical Director at the hospital, is quoted as saying that the department was stretched, but not under strain. At least 10 patients were transferred from the hospital to others in the province, while 27 people were waiting on trolleys.

£750k Investment For Glenariff Forest Park
A significant investment project has been announced for Glenariff Forest Park in Co Antrim.
Covering more than 1,000 hectares, Forestry Minister Michelle O'Neill revealed that £750,000 would be invested in the park under the Forestry Fund.
The Fund, worth £4m over two years, was established under the Executive's Economy and Jobs Initiative, which is designed to support the local labour market and to boost employment.
Minister O'Neill said: "I believe that this investment will significantly underpin the Council's aspirations to further upgrade recreation and visitor facilities at Glenariff and in forests in the Moyle area.
"The development of this high quality caravan and camping facility in the Forest Park will play an important role in catering for and encouraging recreation and tourism within the Antrim coast and Glens area."
