War Memorial Damaged In County Armagh 'Hate Crime'
Police are investigating a hate crime after reports of criminal damage to wreaths at a war memorial in County Armagh.
The incident took place in the Main Street area of Loughgall on Saturday 19 January.

Ice Warning Issued For Northern Ireland
A yellow weather warning for ice has been issued for Northern Ireland.
It will come into force at 9pm on Monday 21 January and last until 11am on Tuesday.
Members of the public are urged to take extra care and be aware of the risk of injury from slips and falls on icy surfaces.
Ice may also cause dangerous driving conditions, especially on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "A band of rain will clear Northern Ireland on Monday evening with surface temperatures falling away behind this and icy stretches likely to form on some untreated surfaces.
"Wintry showers will push into the country from the northwest overnight, with a few centimetres possible across northern and western counties, especially over higher ground."
