Funding for community project approved despite row over IRA men's names on gates

Funding for community project approved despite row over IRA men's names on gates
The DUP are furious that a council has voted to approve £180,000 of funding for a community project in the Glens despite a row over the names of two IRA men on the gates of the planned site. Last night Causeway Coast and Glens Council voted 19-18 in favour of allocating the money to help build a shared community space on the site. It followed a decision by Oisin Glenarrife hurling club to remove the gates in a vote by its members.
The funding had previously been put on hold in June after DUP councillors objected to the gates at the ground. The party had said that the gates leading onto the site would "re-traumatise" people affected by terrorism.
The gates carry the names of Charlie McAllister and Pat McVeigh, who were killed in 1922.

Fresh demand for a new Brexit vote

Fresh demand for a new Brexit vote

It's two months since referendum result day, two months since the big Brexit victory.
June 24 was the day we woke up to the historic news that the UK had voted to leave the EU.
Well it seems some on the Remain side still haven't given up.
Labour leadership contender Owen Smith is demanding a fresh vote - either another referendum or a general election on the terms of the final Brexit deal.

Is that in any way realistic?

Are you tired of troublesome kids on planes?

Are you tired of troublesome kids on planes?

For some there is nothing worse than when you are heading away on holiday and you take your seat on the plane only for a crying child to be in the seat next to you? Or are you a parent who worries about travelling with children and having to apologise to those around you?

Maybe the answer would be children free flights or at least zones that are reserved for parents and children. Would you pay more for your seat if you could guarantee you wouldn't be next to a child?

Fettes College in Edinburgh will provide "porn awareness" classes following fears over the negative effects porn addiction can have on pupils.
They will be run by Mary Sharpe, a lawyer and founder of The Reward Foundation, which promotes healthy relationships.
She told The Sunday Times: "These schools realise the damaging effect hardcore pornography can have on their pupils, in terms of their mental health and their studies."
