NI Policing Board looks to south for funding

The Policing Board is to ask the Irish government to contribute to the cost of building a new police college in Northern Ireland.

BBC Newsline has obtained exclusive details of how the college will look - but so far the government has said it will not pay the full cost, estimated at £130m.
So the policing board is looking to Dublin.

I wonder what Mr. Paisley has to say about that!

RUC police shirts decommissioned

Somewhere, in deepest, darkest Romania, the locals are wearing the green - the old, Royal Ulster Constabulary police green.

Thousands of Northern Ireland's old police shirts are being sent out to Romania to be distributed by a local church charity.

The green RUC shirts were decommissioned in 2001, under the Patten reforms when the RUC became the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

A church charity received thousands of them and was wondering who would launder them prior to despatch to Romania.

They approached Magilligan Prison in County Derry and asked for their help.

Now prisoners who, in past times, came up close and personal to the same shirts - only with officers inside - clean, press and pack them, ready for the journey to Romania.

Prison governor Tom Woods said they were happy to help good causes.
