West Belfast Alerts
There were two security alerts in west Belfast at the weekend. One, on the Ballymurphy Road yesterday saw a number of homes evacuated and the road had been closed following the discovery of a suspicious object. It was later declared a hoax. That incident followed one at the Kennedy Centre in the Falls Road area which was evacuated on Saturday morning during an alert which was also later declared a hoax.
Roads Tragedies
Just weeks after police 'celebrated' the month of February passing without fatalities on NI roads, two women have died following separate road accidents - one in Northern Ireland and one in the Irish Republic. Angela McKee, who was 37 and from Lisburn, died after her car crashed on the Moira Road near Maghaberry at about 3.45pm on Saturday. Later, a Co Fermanagh woman in her 60s died after her car rolled forward and hit her near Belturbet in Co Cavan.
