The police are investigating complaints made about the incident.

the good work that the festival does. The organisers issued a

statement. I think intolerance of any kind,

whether it be Republican or The good people in Ardoyne would

The coroner at the inquest into the death of a county Tyrone schoolgirl

who died at a show-jumping event, has said the facts of what happened

will never be fully known. Hannah Wiley,

who was 13 and from Artigarvan, died after her pony fell on her at

Eglinton Equestrian Centre in county Londonderry in August 2012.

of circumstances led to her death. He said it appeared that

a fence pole became trapped between the pony's legs,

causing the animal to fall. At the inquest today, the teenager's

family said they didn't feel there'd been a proper investigation.

Here today we were hoping to get an accurate account

of what happened to our daughter. She deserved that.

We want to learn from the mistakes so no other

She was 14 when she went out with a friend.

A leading charity says parents are spending so much

on new school uniforms that some can't afford food or fuel.

But a shortage of money, and the fashion for recycling,

means second-hand clothes are more popular than ever.

clothes children have grown out of to barter and nothing suits, they

get a voucher for a litre. Ruby's mum did a deal with unicycle. We

charity to help out on food and fuel costs. It wants to set up a

recycling scheme throughout Northern Ireland. The shop also wants to

teach people how to repeal old uniforms.
