Co. Westmeath Teen 'Could Be In NI'
A teenage girl from County Westmeath has been missing since Thursday and is thought to be in Northern Ireland.

Teenager 'Critical' Following Road Crash

Whiteabbey Resurfacing To Begin
Transport Minister Danny Kennedy has announced the commencement of a £130,000 resurfacing capital scheme at Shore Road, Whiteabbey Village in Belfast.
"The resurfacing works which started today will cause some inconvenience and disruption to road users and local businesses," a statement from the Department for Regional Development said.
"In order to minimise the impact on this heavily trafficked road, the works have been programmed for the summer months when the schools are off and traffic flows are at their lowest."
Lane closures will operate from Monday 11 August to Friday 15 August from 08:00-18:00.
Full road closure will be necessary from Monday 18 August to Friday 22 August from 08:00-18:00 for carriageway resurfacing. During this period diversions will operate Circular Road and Jordanstown Road.
The scheme is expected to be completed by Friday 29 August 2014.
