Man Killed Neighbour At Pedestrian Crossing
A man from Londonderry has pleaded guilty to killing his 65-year-old neighbour through careless driving.

Landsdowne Hotel Bought By UK Hotel Chain
A hotel that went into administration almost four months ago has been bought by the UK hotel chain Metro Inns.
About 30 jobs were lost and customers who had booked functions at the Landsdowne Hotel on the Antrim Road were left shocked at the closure in May this year.
Metro Inns, which owns hotels across England and Scotland, said in a statement: "Metro Inns hope to re-ignite the wonderful reputation this famous hotel enjoys and by engaging with the local community and its staff we hope to deliver a first class service to the people of Belfast and beyond."
