Father in desperate plea to education authority over support for daughter with disability.

Bangor father in desperate plea to education authority over support for daughter with disability. 

It's back to school for many children this week and for parents that can be a stressful and anxious time, but what if your child has a disability and needs specialist equipment that you have been told will be in place but find out it's not there? That is the situation facing Jonny as his daughter is due to start her first day of Primary school on Monday.

Also on the programme, a Sinn Fein MLA has said that Catholic housing applicants may have even longer waits under proposals to review the points system used to allocate homes. Carál Ní Chuilín says that Catholic applicants are already waiting longer than their Protestant counterparts and she says a report written for the Department has warned about a potential negative impact on Catholic applicants. Stephen spoke to Carál and asked her how these claims stacked up.

And, you may have seen these posters in Belfast city centre that show foetuses aborted at different stages of pregnancy. The proposal has been brought by Green Party Councillor Aine Groogan and will go before the full council on Monday night. Stephen spoke to Aine and Marion Woods from the campaign group Both Lives Matter.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country...
