A Catholic school in the North has announced plans to close because of sectarian attacks.

St Mary's primary school in Ballymena, Co Antrim, has suffered 10 major arson attacks, four fire bombings and one even more serious bomb attack over the past 10 years.

It had more than 300 pupils 30 years ago, but this has since fallen to just 50, something the principal is blaming on the campaign of violence.
