Subscribe              Dec 22, 2020           Good morning So close to Christmas we bring the highly emotional story about a woman who is organising her wedding and her funeral. Jade Caughey from Portadown is 28 and just last week was told the chemotherapy and radiotherapy for her cancer has not been successful. A Sinn Fein MLA's Christmas tribute to the "fallen volunteers" of the IRA has been condemned as lauding those who "sought to kill and destroy". In a video posted on Twitter on Monday night, West Belfast representative Orlaithi Flynn said it is the responsibility of the next generation to "fulfil the promises made by past generations". 146 children at a local school have been told to self-isolate on Christmas Day after 11 classmates test positive for Covid-19. The principal of Sullivan Upper School, Chris Peel, confirmed all Year 13 pupils must self-isolate until December 28. And, the Police Ombudsman has heaped criticism upon the PSNI for the way it policed Black Lives Matter (BLM) demonstrations during the summer. The protests, which took place in central Belfast and Londonderry on June 6, saw 71 fines handed out to people deemed to be in breach of coronavirus restrictions (57 in Londonderry, 14 in Belfast).
