Primary school funds warning

"The school system is broken" - newly formed group of concerned primary school principals say they are facing the worst financial crisis in a generation.

The most prolonged and worrying financial crisis facing schools since the Good Friday Agreement, if not ever. That's the claim from a group of school principals who have contacted the Nolan Show. Vinny spoke to Chris Logan, Principal of Comber Primary School. He is part of the Strategic Primary Principals Forum who say there are budget deficits across the board, cuts affecting the most vulnerable and staff morale is at an all-time low. We also got reaction from SDLP MLA Colin McGrath and Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle.

Also on the programme, the new Glider. How have you found it? Has it made your journey into work - that bit more pleasant? Quicker? Not everyone is happy though. Vinny has been speaking to Mark Heenan. He's frustrated that he now cannot park outside his child's school - St James Primary on the Falls - to drop his kids off.

And, there is another Royal Wedding this year but it鈥檚 one you may not see on TV. The Queen's granddaughter, Princess Eugenie is due to be married next month but 成人快手 bosses have reportedly refused to air the wedding. That's despite her father Prince Andrew demanding her nuptials be broadcast to the nation. But should the 成人快手 be using licence fee to cover another Royal Wedding? Vinny got the views of commentators Andrea McVeigh and Phil Kelly.
