It's 'brilliant' news for a local support group that's been given fifty thousand pounds of Lottery cash.

Newry-based Down Right Brilliant, a group for children with Downs Syndrome, won after getting the most public votes in UTV's People's Project.

The group supports 54 families in the Newry and Mourne and South Armagh areas.

It plans to use the cash to set up a youth club for its users and their siblings.
