Suspect device found outside Holy Cross primary school

Bomb disposal experts are examining a suspicious device found outside the Catholic Holy Cross primary school in north Belfast this morning.

The device was found at the gates of the building in the Ardoyne area as pupils were preparing for the beginning of the new school term this morning.

The children and parents are taking shelter in the assembly hall of a neighbouring school while bomb disposal experts examine the suspect package.

Sinn Féin councillor Margaret McLenaghan said the alert had caused fear and anger among parents and children, whose school was at the centre of a violent loyalist blockade two years ago.
