ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLY
We've been investigating what sort of attempts have been made to access blocked websites at the Northern Ireland Assembly, and the answer has been very interesting indeed. Gambling websites, dating websites, hard core porn websites, an adult sex-toy site, and even an escort and call girl service. Vinny spoke to former MP Lembit Opik, former MLA Seamus Close and the commentator Alex Kane, who himself was a communications guru at Stormont for the UUP a number of years ago.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL
It's the last day of school for thousands of kids across the country, and it's particularly poignant for P7s - leaving primary education and getting ready for big school! Our reporter Nicola Weir went to Gracehill Primary School in Ballymena for her daughter, Imogen's, last day there. And it was not only an emotional day for the children but for the headmaster too.... So get those tissues ready as we find out how they all got on....

EU REFERENDUM

EU REFERENDUM
Generation war over Brexit. Are young people right to be angry with how their grandparents voted? Opinion poll findings indicate that support for a Brexit was much stronger among older people. And that has led to anger among younger voters. But now Malachi O'Doherty has come to the defence of the oldies. Vinny spoke to Malachi, and was also joined by Emma Woolf and journalist Francis Beckett who has written a book on the Baby boom generation.

RACISM

RACISM
Yesterday we were talking about Amnesty International's fears of a rise in racist incidents following the EU referendum. A Kenyan-born man who lives in Belfast contacted the show after he fell victim to racist abuse while out working. Our reporter Nicola Weir went to meet him.
