Stormont Security Minister Jane Kennedy has announced a series of measures in a bid to stem sectarian attacks in the Ardoyne area.

These include the construction of a "peace line" between Glenbryn Park and Alliance Avenue, close to Holy Cross School.

The move was welcomed by North Belfast MP Nigel Dodds, who said it would alleviate the sense of fear felt by loyalist residents.

"One of the issues that comes when you talk to residents is the fact that they feel endangered, they feel a threat against their security.

"Indeed, there have been physical attacks on people’s houses in unionist areas over many many months," he said.
