Recent examples were said to have involved solicitors being followed from their offices, harassed in their homes or subjected to sustained abuse.

A Downpatrick school is to ring its bell for the last time after nearly a century before pupils move to a new £44 million site. Down High School, a co-educational grammar, was first opened in 1933 on the grounds of the 19th century County Gaol – a short distance from Downpatrick Courthouse and Down Cathedral. The Mount Crescent site still retains the listed 1830s Gatelodge and original boundary walls of the gaol.
