LAWYERS for two Co Tyrone republicans facing prosecution in connection with a funeral say they will vehemently challenge the decision.
Brian Arthurs and Frankie Quinn learned this week they are to be prosecuted in relation to their attendance at the funeral of former Sinn Féin councillor Francie McNally last April.
Both men are former senior members of the republican movement and served time for explosive offences.
Apiarists stung by the news 15 million Italian bees are on their way to England via Northern Ireland have launched a post-Brexit campaign to create a hard border for the insects.
They want a ban on the foreign species as the Italian insects are a horrendous pest and will dilute the quality of native bees due to cross-breeding, according to a councillor.
Mid Ulster District Council is to support the campaign calling on the UK Government to stop the importation of the Italian honeybees to Britain via here.
Kent beekeeper Patrick Murfet wants to import the young insects for his business and to help farmers pollinate their crops.

LIMERICKÂ â The intersecting discussions about a plan for development in Linfield and another for open space has led to some misunderstandings about the future of the two game land preserves in town.
Perhaps spearheading the confusion is the fact that both of the game lands parcels in Limerick â the more than 230 acres off Game Farm Road and the more than 100 acres in Linfield along the Schuylkill River â carry the same designation: No. 234.
Both are overseen by the Pennsylvania Game Lands Commission and the township has little say in their management, said Township Manager Dan Kerr.

Further, both sites are potentially affected by two different township planning studies underway. And both those studies are being undertaken by the same firm, Simone Collins.
