More than 200 students from four schools in Belfast have walked out in a protest at the prime minister’s proposed Brexit deal.

Pupils from schools, including Lagan College, Wellington College, Methody College and Our Lady and St Patrick’s College, Knock, took part in the demonstration on Monday.

The campaign was co-ordinated by organisers along with Our Future, Our Choice Northern Ireland (OFOC NI), a group of young people campaigning for a “people’s vote” referendum on the final Brexit deal.

The Lagan College walk-out organising committee said: “Us politics students at Lagan College have become frustrated with how the politicians in our country and the rest of the UK have ignored the opinions and views of young people regarding the issues of Brexit and other political issues.

“We didn’t get the chance to vote on the outcome of our future, so we want to take this final opportunity to express ourselves and our views.”

OFOC NI said: “We have grown as a movement, and throughout our time working we have been encouraging young Northern Irish people to become involved in politics and allowed them to have a voice.

“We are delighted to have been able to inspire and support the school students who are involved in this event. They are an inspiring selection of students and we hope that others will be inspired by their actions.”
