Education Minister Paul Givan has declined a controversial invitation to visit Israel in the new year.

The Department of Education has confirmed to The Irish News that Mr Givan has decided not to attend a conference hosted by the Israeli government.

The DUP minister’s trip to Israel in October, alongside party colleagues and members of the Ulster Unionists and TUV, sparked controversy after his department issued a press release about his visit to a school in the illegally-occupied West Bank.

Mr Givan had embarked on the Israeli-government sponsored ‘fact-finding mission’, which took place against a background of widespread condemnation of Israel over its two-year bombardment of Gaza, in a personal capacity.

Christmas is increasingly less about the nativity and the season of goodwill and more about rubbish – rubbish music, rubbish TV, and piles and piles of packaging. It seems nothing generates waste quite like ‘the most wonderful time of the year’.

Cast an eye down any residential street and you’ll see bins brimming with discarded festive packaging that more often than not is much greater in volume than the item or items it contained. Some of it even ends up on the verge of a remote rural road.

While some of the waste generated will be recycled by your local authority, much of it is destined for landfill or to be exported for incineration. However, some of it can be up-cycled by resourceful gardeners.

Police are investigating burglaries at two churches in south Armagh on Christmas Day.

Damage was caused to the two places of worship in Newtownhamilton – St Michael’s Catholic Church on Dundalk Road and the Second Presbyterian Church on Castleblaney Street.

Police received reports of the burglaries happening sometime between 3pm on Christmas Day and 9am on Friday.

Items taken during the break-ins included electronic speakers and a wall clock.

“We are appealing to anyone that may have noted suspicious activity in the area of these places of worship...during this time frame,” a PSNI spokesperson said.

“Slieve Gullion Neighbourhood Policing Team are also aware of these incidents and have increased patrols in these areas.

“I would ask that members of the public continue to be vigilant and report to police any suspicious activity around places of worship.

"We would appeal to anyone who may have noticed any suspicious behaviour in the area.“
