Driver With Children Charged After Being Found Four Times Over The Limit
A man has been arrested after he was found driving four times over the legal limit with two young children in his van in Co Down.
Police stopped the van as it was driving erratically on the A1 near Banbridge.
He has been charged and is expected to appear in court at a later date.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "Reporting suspected drink drivers to the police saves lives. Thank you."
Redeveloped Brandywell Stadium In L'Derry To Open In March
The newly redeveloped Brandywell Stadium in Co L'Derry is expected to open in March this year.
A spokesperson for Derry City and Strabane District Council said that in spite of a previously advised delay on the project mostly as a result of the winter weather, the contractor has made "excellent progress" on the continuing project.
The spokesperson said: "The Council with all of its stakeholders and partners, very much looks forward to the imminent completion of this exciting £7m regeneration and redevelopment project and the ongoing help and assistance of all who are working together to realise this ambition."
Nationalism And Unionism Must Work Together - SDLP
SDLP Leader Colum Eastwood has commented after the collapse of the negotiations at Stormont and said it is "a dangerous and difficult moment for the future of this part of Ireland."
The Foyle MLA said: "There is only one way through which the public can judge this failure – the details of this deal must now be published.
"As the party most centrally involved in coming to the accommodation that was the Good Friday Agreement, as its leader I want to make clear that this is a dangerous and difficult moment for the future of this part of Ireland.
"After years of trying to bridge our deep historical differences we are in danger of retreating from each other once more.
"This is a failed negotiation which now threatens to hand power to a Tory/DUP Government. The SDLP is clear that this cannot be allowed to happen.
"The balance underpinning this place is that Nationalism and Unionism must work together. That's a reality that some still fail to face. We need to get back to the spirit envisaged by the Good Friday Agreement, that both traditions on our island are accommodated and respected."
