Work Complete On New Sports Hall And Drama Studio In Co Tyrone
Work has been completed on a new sports hall and drama studio at a college in Co Tyrone.
The new facilities at the Integrated College in Dungannon have officially opened.
Permanent Secretary for the Department of Education, Derek Baker, who attended the opening said: "It is clear from looking at these excellent new facilities that the School Enhancement Programme is having very real benefits on our schools estate, providing much needed facilities and creating a better place for pupils to learn and flourish in.
"I am confident that the £3.5million investment in the new sports hall and synthetic pitch will have a positive impact on pupils, teachers and schools staff for generations to come."
Sinn Fein Can't Have their Cake And Eat It - UUP
Ulster Unionist MEP, Jim Nicholson, has stated that if Sinn Fein doesn't like the Secretary of State representing Northern Ireland in Brussels, then the solution lies in their own hands.
He said: "I note that today we saw another dose of faux outrage in the Northern Ireland press from Sinn Fein about the Secretary of State representing Northern Ireland in Brussels. The clue is in the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland`s title and while Gerry Adams continues to hold the country to ransom, what does he expect James Brokenshire to do?
"The Secretary of State should continue to represent Northern Ireland's interests in Brussels alongside MEPs such as myself who have the best interests of Northern Ireland and its people at heart. If Sinn Fein aren`t happy with that then the solution lies in their own hands. They need to get off their high horse and agree to get the Northern Ireland Assembly and an Executive back in place again.
