Ryanair Denies Increasing Prices For Frampton Manchester Fight
Ryanair has rejected allegations it hiked up it's prices for Belfast to Manchester flights ahead of Carl Frampton's upcoming fight in December.
The Jackal will fight Josh Warrington at the Manchester Arena on 22 December for the IBF World Featherweight title.
Writing on Twitter, the boxer said he had been informed by fans who had booked flights to his fight that they "had their flights cancelled, refunded the money and then the flights have been put back on sale at more than double the price".
Mr Frampton added that the airline is "disgraceful" and "should be ashamed".
Ryanair responded that he had been "misinformed" and said that some flights had been temporarily unavailable due to a server issue.
The airline added: "In fact, you can fly from Belfast to Manchester on 21 Dec for just £9.99."
Students Warned To Pay TV Licence After 810 Caught
Students in Northern Ireland are being warned against watching TV without a licence after more than 800 young people were caught without one in the past year.
TV Licensing issued the warning and said that those without a licence may face fines of up to £1,000.
According to new figures, 810 young people between the ages of 18 and 25 were caught watching live TV or BBC iPlayer without a licence in the past year.
Karen Grimason, a spokesperson for TV Licensing said: "Every year there are myths which circulate around campus about when you do and don't need a licence.
"If you're watching live TV on any device, including mobiles and tablets, or watch catch up programmes on BBC iPlayer, you need to be covered by a TV licence."
The recent study revealed that awareness of knowing when a licence is needed is high, with 92% of students clear that a TV Licence is needed to watch BBC iPlayer on a TV set or any other device.
