Legislation to protect breastfeeding mothers is being welcomed here.
Health minister Michelle O'Neill made the announcement yesterday.
It follows months of campaigning that culminated in a petition being delivered by mums to Stormont.
If legislation is passed it will bring Northern Ireland's in line with Scotland's.
This would make it an offence to stop a child from being breastfed in a public place, which Newry wellbeing coach Joanne Callan welcomes.
