A MAN HAS died in Northern Ireland after police used tear gas during an incident in Belfast.
In a statement, the Police Ombudsman said the man “became unwell during an incident involving police officers in Belfast City Centre this morning”.
The incident, during which police officers used CS spray against the man, is currently being investigated by the Police Ombudsman’s office. The office will release the man’s name in due course.
The Guardian reports police had been called to Great Victoria Street after an altercation between a man and taxi drivers.

I suppose It’ll go down a bit now that Cowen’s gone.

It seems our Politicians are more fond of the Dáil Bar than doing the work they were elected to do?
Indeed, from what I’ve read in the news last week, this seems to be the case.
Seriously, why do they even have a bar. And people wonder why the country is in a jocker, when the people who run it have a nice bar to drink out of.
By the look of them I would guess the restaurant has tripled it’s turnover.
Most are obese!!
These greedy cheating TD’s keep feeding on our citizens like cannibals.
Not too many fit for anything. Look at the Healy Rea’s for everything that is repulsive.
Twice as many Drunks i suppose.
Jeez if the sales fell in 2009, I can only imagine what the sales are like now that Brian ‘bucket arse’ Cowen and the FF politburo is gone.
Maybe Ming will turn it into a hash cafe one day!
I suppose the only good thing is that they’re supporting Irish jobs, by buying Guinness.
More considerate TDs drinking tea or juices in place of the usual pint or shot?
have your say
