Trouble Flares In Belfast
An arrest was made after violent clashes at the Springfield/Shankill interface in Belfast which forced police to shut Lanark Way security gates on the peaceline at the weekend. Bricks, bottles and lumps of wood were used as missiles when trouble escalated after a crowd of loyalists from Highfield were alleged to have confronted people taking part in a 'political tour' on Sunday.
Suspect Device
Co Fermanagh security forces remain on high alert this morning as a security operation continued overnight following the discovery of a suspicious object, near Rosslea. Police said on Sunday night that they would try to minimise disruption to local community during the operation and have appealed to people to report any suspicious activity they may have seen in the area recently, and not to approach or touch anything suspicious. The object was found on Rellan Road following reports of a loud bang on Saturday.
Biker Hurt
A motorcyclist has been taken to hospital with serious injuries following a road traffic accident at Portrush, County Antrim, on Sunday. His motorcycle was in collision with a jeep on the Dunluce Road shortly before 10.30pm. The driver of the jeep was also been taken to hospital, but his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
Healy Gong
Northern Ireland footballer David Healy has received the MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for services to football and the community. The leading goal scorer had also recently received a special award from Uefa President Michel Platini after scoring a record 13 goals during the Euro 2008 qualifiers.
Sex Charge Cop Freed
A police officer arrested last week in connection with an alleged brothel has been released without any charge, but pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service. A Malaysian woman arrested alongside Police Service of Northern Ireland Constable Chris Murdoch earlier this week has been charged with running a brothel, but another woman from the south east Asian country was also released pending a report being forwarded to the PPS. The trio were taken into custody following searches in the Coleraine and Castlerock areas.
