Hain pressed for more money for police-training college

Northern Secretary Peter Hain will tonight face demands to stump up another £40m (€59.2m) needed to build the North’s new state-of-the-art police college.

Members of the North’s Policing Board, who have become increasingly frustrated by British government resistance to their request for the extra cash needed to locate the academy in Cookstown, Co Tyrone, are to press him for commitments when they meet in Belfast.
