Catholic parent takes legal action against Britain

One of the Catholic parents involved in the 11-week-old dispute outside Holy Cross school in north Belfast has taken High Court proceedings against the British Government and the Northern police force.

The unidentified woman, whose daughter attends the school, said the police and the British Government have failed to take action against the loyalist protestors who have thrown stones, bottles, fireworks, boiling water and a blast bomb at Catholic schoolchildren.
