@henrywinter I think the fee is deliberately £116 million, on the assumption that it is 1 more than 115. One more charge they'll not need to worry about. Football is dying.
Crowds gathered at Belfast City Hall calling for the resignation of Stormont Education Minister Paul Givan following his trip to Israel, and asking his dept to publicise a visit he made to a school on Jerusalem.
Sinn Féin will support the motion of no confidence in the Education Minister.
Today, crowds gathered in Belfast calling on Paul Givan to resign.
Israel has murdered tens of thousands of children & destroyed nearly every school in Gaza.
It is abhorrent that any minister anywhere in the world would associate themselves with Israel’s genocide, ethnic cleansing, forced starvation & illegal occupation.
Is it ethical for the Department of Education which is responsible for the education of our children, to be advertising a visit by a sitting Minister for Education to a regime accused of murdering 20,000 children?
No Other Land airs on Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March. Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.

🚨 What’s happening in Sicily - Italy 🇮🇹 is absolutely extraordinary
Mount Etna is erupting with its summit covered in snow
Here are some explorers skiing between snow and fire!
Unprecedented
Those who think they're going to slander me into silence can think again.
The Education Authority is dodging questions left and right, so scared are they of scrutiny.
Attempts to drag this story into the gutter with false comparisons won't work either.
I REPEAT!
Branding people “sectarian” shouldn’t be a Get Out Of Jail Free card that the DUP want it to be.
This is about the potential misuse of £710k, who signed off on it, and why this school was prioritised when it didn’t have to enter a competition for funding.
Gary Middleton slandering me on Nolan tonight.
Said my story was factually inaccurate claiming I said no education funding went into Derry city in the past 10 years.
I said all schools that applied for 'major funding' in the past 10 years were rejected.
FACTUALLY ACCURATE!
From the start of this myself and others have been forcefully told, 'nothing to see here'.
Slurs thrown around, people branded 'sectarian'.
There is definitely something to see here.
1. There is no proof that any school which was part of those apparent 56 projects didn't apply for funding.
2. There's PROOF Lisneal didn't apply for funding - yet got it.
3. The department has now refused to answer any of my questions.
The public can judge for themselves.
I voted against today's motion, while many MLAs bent over backwards to justify this extortionate pay increase for themselves.
In no other job would a 38% increase be considered reasonable. Why should MLAs be treated differently than any other worker?
@DarranMarshall Don’t use the dangerous pitch and there will no risk of injury.
Provide funding for SEN education, for schools which are disintegrating around the pupils and staff.
On the same day a €820k cut is announced to Irish language funding, a DUP Minister finds £710k for a school who didn't apply
Does that €820k deficit exist because DfC (DUP Minister) won't match the souths funds, & a proposal to fix it has 'failed' to reach Executive Agenda? 👀
Who knew a £710k state of the art football pitch will keep Lisneal College open, the pupils safe, and enable children with specific needs to access education?
