The Church of Ireland has said that a member of staff has been suspended pending the outcome of a police investigation into allegations of sexual assault. It comes as a 42-year-old man has been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion offences including rape. A report was made to police in Moira, County Down, on Friday. The Police Service of Northern Ireland said an investigation remains ongoing. Two separate shootings in Coleraine are being treated as attempted murder by the PSNI. The Police Service of Northern Ireland said anyone found to have blocked the Garvaghy Road will be treated as participating in an "illegal protest". It happened on the Ballygowan Road in Crossnacreevy at about 10:45 BST on Friday. Emergency services are in attendance at the scene in Crossnacreevy, County Down.
