Parents Urged To Apply For Uniform Grants
Parents of eligible children are being urged to to apply for school uniform grants.
The Clothing Allowance Scheme covers pupils in primary, post-primary and special schools. The eligibility criteria are similar to those used for free school meals and seek to target families who are on benefits or low incomes.
Funding Secured To Support Belfast's Gaeltacht Quarter
Up to £30 million funding has been pledged to support the continued growth of Belfast's Gaeltacht Quarter.
Councillor Niall Ó Donnghaile has welcomed the announcement.
He said: "£21 million of that is already been secured or offered to fund major projects throughout the Gaeltacht Quarter including sports buildings, Áras na bhFál, new buildings for Coláiste Feirste and Raidió Fáilte and a new centre for handball.
"And we are hopeful of further major projects in the future."
Hit-And-Run Incident 'Horrific' - Kelly
Antrim Councillor Neil Kelly has said the injuring of a man in a hit-and-run incident in Crumlin was a "horrific incident".
The Alliance Councillor was speaking after the man was struck while walking along Main Street in the village shortly before 3am on Saturday. Police said the man was shouted at by the driver of a green Seat Leon, who then turned the car and hit him. The pedestrian was treated in hospital for a leg injury.
"This was a horrific crime and my thoughts are with the victim," said Councillor Kelly.
"This man could easily have been killed and I wish him a swift recovery. The driver of the car clearly has no thought for the lives of others."
