North West Today

Available for 4 days

A Coroner has called for the barriers on the Foyle Bridge to be raised in height during an inquest into the death of 54-year-old Rory Hughes, from Omagh. We hear from Northern Ireland's Mental Health Champion Siobhan O'Neill and local SDLP MLA Mark H Durkan who have welcomed the calls. And as Presbyterians prepare to meet to discuss to discuss the church's safeguarding crisis, we speak to William Crawley who has been following the story extensively. Also on the show, we visit one of the most beautiful events of the festive season - the Christmas tree festival at St. Columb's Cathedral.
